Today's Story Highlights

iPhone 8 Dreaming in Full Swing
Apple's latest iPhone was barely out of the gate when rumors began
percolating about the company's next new phone. Although the iPhone 7
garnered mostly tepid reviews, initial inventories sold out quickly, and
the company had to scramble to meet demand. That demand may have peaked,
though, which may be why chasers of the next big thing are looking down
the road.

Facebook Denies Ransomware Infiltration
Facebook has denied that its network and Messenger app were being used
to spread ransomware to its users, contradicting the claims of a
security firm. Two Check Point researchers last week reported they had
discovered a new method for delivering malicious code to machines, which
they dubbed "ImageGate." Threat actors had found a way to embed
malicious code into an image, they said.

SF Muni Hack a Wake-Up Call for Public Systems
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority, or SF MTA, was
hacked on Friday. "You Hacked, All Data Encrypted," was the message
reportedly displayed on computer screens at the authority's stations
throughout the city. "Contact for Key (cryptom27@yandex.com)ID:681 ,
Enter." Fare payment machines at underground stations were out of order,
resulting in free rides.
