Administration, Silicon Valley Bigs Meet to Strategize on ISIS
Obama administration officials last week met with senior executives from
several leading Silicon Valley firms in a summit on how to combat the
proliferation of terrorist communications on social media networks.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey, and John
Carlin, assistant attorney general for national security, represented
the DoJ.

Black Duck Intros Container Scanning
Black Duck Software on Tuesday announced it has added to its Hub
software container-scanning capabilities that let users map open source
security flaws for applications, Linux distros, and other software in
Docker and other Linux containers. Adding a containerized scanner to a
Docker host enables automatic identification of known open source
vulnerabilities in all layers of containers on the host.

Microsoft Puts Legacy IE Browsers Out to Pasture
Microsoft has ended technical support for the older versions of its
legacy Internet Explorer browser, placing at risk millions of users who
-- despite extensive warnings -- have not upgraded to the latest version
of Internet Explorer or the free install of Windows 10. The support
expiration means that customers using IE 8, 9 and 10 no longer will
receive technical support and security updates.

ESA Fails to Rouse Philae Lander
DLR, the German Aerospace Center, this week vainly tried to reawaken the
dormant Philae robotic probe, which achieved the first-ever soft landing
on a comet nucleus in 2014. The center, known as DLR, sent a command to
Philae to spin up its flywheel, which had stabilized the lander during
its descent onto the comet. DLR hoped that might give Philae some
angular momentum to align itself with the sun.

ProPublica Launches News Site on Dark Web
ProPublica last week reportedly launched what's believed to be the first
major news site on the dark Web. The site's purpose reportedly is to
maximize the privacy of readers. The Tor hidden service goes beyond SSL
in that visits to sites are hidden from eavesdroppers and ISPs. Anyone
monitoring Tor nodes can track visitors who use a Tor browser to view
ProPublica's regular site.

Ford's Self-Driving Cars Brave Ice and Snow
Ford on Monday announced that it has begun conducting the automobile
industry's first autonomous vehicle tests in snow and icy conditions at
Mcity. The company is using Mcity -- a full-scale, 32-acre simulated
real-world urban environment that was developed as part of the
University of Michigan's Mobility Transformation Center -- to test
vehicles in a variety of weather conditions.
