new for @BW:

Shootings + plots against US power stations are way up since a white supremacist network distributed instructions on how extremists can cause havoc.

US cyber chief Jen Easterly is in the hot seat at a fraught political moment.

Telegram will start providing user IP addresses and phone numbers in exchange for govt requests, Durov says.
