Kaspersky Banned by FCC: ‘Threat to National Security’ - Security Boulevard

Hide the Pain Eugene: The Federal Communications Commission added Kaspersky Lab to a list of banned companies. The FCC alleges the firm is a threat to U.S. national security.

This is the first #Russian firm added to the list: Up to now, it’s been mostly dodgy #Chinese companies, such as @Huawei.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we ponder @E_Kaspersky’s resemblance to Harold. At @SecurityBlvd: https://t.co/uXsOGHlBJn

Bad Dog—Everyone HATES This FIDO Passwordless Idea - Security Boulevard

Dog’s Breakfast of a Plan: Behold! The next steps to passwordless nirvana. The FIDO Alliance is happy to present its plan for ridding us from the yoke of passwords.

Usually in #SBBlogwatch, I try to tell both sides of the story. But today, I couldn’t find anyone who thinks #FIDO is a good thing.
