Today's Story Highlights

US Backs Off Huawei Export Ban for 90 Days
The $11 billion export component of the business American companies do
with Chinese electronics giant Huawei is safe for at least 90 days. The
U.S. Commerce Department has extended the Temporary General License for
Huawei and its non-U.S. affiliates to buy goods from American companies.
The license is needed because the Commerce Department has blacklisted
Huawei and its affiliates.

Avoid a Black Friday, Cyber Monday Disaster With Intelligent Testing
Many online businesses rely on Black Friday and Cyber Monday to drive
their profit margins. During this four-day period, retailers will see
traffic on their site skyrocket. How can retailers make sure their sites
are robust and won't fail during this critical period? The answer is to
ensure your site is completely bombproof and can handle the surge in
load without a problem.

T-Mobile Merger Delay Keeps Sprint and Dish on Edge
The T-Mobile-Sprint merger looked like it was pretty much a done deal a
couple of weeks ago, when DoJ gave its approval. It now looks like there
won't be a final answer until 2020. This will go down in history as one
of the longest corporate merger attempts. The delay will be hardest on
Sprint and Dish Network. Even though T-Mobile looks stronger, it needs
the deal too, as it transitions into 5G.

Faulty Driver Coding Exposes Microsoft Windows to Malware Risks
Numerous driver design flaws by 20 different hardware vendors expose
Microsoft Windows users to widespread security compromises that can
cause persistent malware attacks. A report titled "Screwed Drivers,"
which Eclypsium security researchers presented at DEF CON, urges
Microsoft to support solutions to better protect against this class of
vulnerabilities.
