RIP: Dean Stockwell, 85

What a career! Born into a family of performers going back into vaudeville, Dean had a career spanning over five decades: he was a child actor, appeared in Long Day's Journey Into Night, Battlestar Galactica which led to many TV series roles, his recurring series as the holographic sidekick Al to Sam in Quantum Leap. But what I did not know, and will henceforth cherish, is he voiced Duke Nukem.

You had an amazing career, sir. Rest in peace, you've earned it.

Members of the REvil ransomware gang are being arrested!

The U.S. government are offering up to a $10,000,000 reward for info leading to the arrest of key members of the group! $5mil for affiliate members!

Recently a member was arrested in Poland and $6mil of cryptocurrency was recovered. He's in prison awaiting extradition to the USA!

The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.

Krebs is learning that it seems any organization that is ten years old starts getting really lax about their internal cybersecurity. These guys were brought down because they didn't compartmentalize their hacker identities from their social media identities. People linked them, reported them to the authorities, and now they're behind bars!
