Today's Story Highlights
Is Icahn Attempting a Hostile Takeover of HP?
When it comes to any merger, you often can't trust the reason the firms
are merging, particularly if financial rather than operational managers
are driving the process. When it comes to hostile takeovers, you can bet
you are being misled, because the rhetoric will address synergy, but the
folks driving the effort know the more likely goal is to destroy the
acquired company.

Saudi Hack of Bezos' Phone Shines Bright Light on Security Challenges
A digital forensic analysis conducted by FTI Consulting concludes with
"medium to high confidence" that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' smartphone was
hacked through a malicious file sent from the WhatsApp account of Saudi
Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. The malware was in an MP4 file
attached to a WhatsApp message. UN special rapporteurs released
technical elements of the report.

Patriot OS Provides Revolutionary Computing Convenience
Peach OSI's Patriot OS is a vibrant example of how a software developer
can create a distribution that stands apart in the crowded Linux OS
field of lookalikes. This evolving Linux OS distro, once known as "Peach
OSI" but now called "Patriot OS," delivers a Linux computing platform
that injects new functionality and offers something different. It is
worth checking out.

Grabbing the Cybersecurity and Privacy Problems by the Horns: ECT News Roundtable, Episode 3
Cybersecurity and privacy threats aren't confined to the tech world.
They've cast their pall on the world in general. Computer viruses,
malware and data leaks have become commonplace, personal privacy has
become a bad joke, and cyberwar looms like a virtual mushroom cloud.
What sometimes gets lost in the gloom are the many ways security
professionals have been working to shore up cyberdefenses.

Is Congress Finally Ready to Take On Cybersecurity?
The United States Congress made some significant progress this session
when it comes to data privacy, but cybersecurity remains a blind spot
for lawmakers. Congress currently is considering a national privacy law
that mirrors legislation enacted in the European Union. It would allow
people to access, correct and request the deletion of the personal
information collected from them.

Cosmos: Possible Worlds - A Lavish, Hopeful Journey
We agree to suspend our disbelief, and they agree to entertain us.
Perhaps it inspires us by communicating some kernel of wisdom about
human nature. Its story may touch our emotions deeply, but we know it's
the product of imagination and artistry. Cosmos: Possible Worlds
delivers everything a great science fiction movie delivers, except the
fiction.

Know Your Enemy: The Difficulty of Defining Deepfakes
Facebook recently promised that it would increase efforts to remove so-
called "deepfake" videos, including content that included "misleading
manipulated media." In addition to fears that deepfakes -- altered
videos that appear to be authentic -- could impact the upcoming 2020
general election in the United States, there are growing concerns that
they could ruin reputations and impact businesses.
