On Thursday, Silvus Technologies has announced that it had received a contract from the U.S. Army to provide StreamCaster radios to the Integrated Tactical Network as part of Capability Set ’21. Silvus has won a contract valued at as much as $3 million from the U.S. Army to provide the first commercial mobile ad hoc network (MANET) radio deployed at scale in the Army’s Middle-Tier Integrated Tactical Network. As part of Capability Set 21 Critical Design Review, Silvus radios were selected to connect key command and control nodes due to both their self-organizing network designed to operate in multiple spectrum bands […]
Encryption startup NuCypher has finished distributing its network’s native token, NU, to over 2,000 prospective node operators who staked more than $125 million worth of ether (ETH) during the month of September. NuCypher’s system will hit Ethereum’s mainnet on Oct. 15. Primarily marketed as a solution for developers building decentralized applications (dapps), NuCypher helps firms encrypt data before they upload it to decentralized storage networks, while also retaining control over who can read the data once its uploaded (using an advanced form of flexible cryptography called proxy re-encryption). On the other side, participants who run the network’s nodes earn fees in […]
Facebook booted three troll networks linked to Russian intelligence and the St. Petersburg-based troll farm involved in meddling in the 2016 election. Nathan Gleicher, Facebook’s head of security, told reporters in a press conference that the three networks mainly focused on audiences and issues outside of the U.S. presidential election but that the company had suspended them now out of an abundance of caution because they “could pivot to support a hack-and-leak operation” in the future. While Facebook hasn’t seen any evidence that Russia’s intelligence services planned to use the suspended networks to amplify hacked content in a hack-and-leak operation, the […]
Long-time Trump ally and former Fox News regular Joe diGenova lashed out at the conservative-leaning network on Wednesday, claiming Fox News “fears George Soros” and wondering aloud what the liberal philanthropist “has on” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott. For more than a week now, right-wing media outlets and pro-Trump pundits have railed against Fox News for an on-air segment that featured multiple hosts shutting down Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich just as he began a conspiratorial rant against Soros—who has long been the target of anti-Semitic tropes from the right. After Gingrich asked if the topic was “verboten,” the discussion […]
While so-called “DeFi degens” are busy bidding up the price of food-themed tokens, on the other end of crypto’s DeFi spectrum two teams working on the most popular implementations of Bitcoin’s Lightning Network have been busy pushing out new features. This week, both Lightning Labs, which maintains the Lightning Network Daemon (LND) implementation of the Lightning Network, and Blockstream, which maintains the c-lightning implementation, updated their tech stacks.

The report builds from Downing Streets expectations of a 3-year delay to its 5G rollout and comes after the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) announced the ban in July this year. The UK government’s ban and removal of Huawei from national 5G networks by 2027 will risk a severe delay in the country’s 5G rollout targets, an independent report from research and analysis firm Assembly said on Wednesday. The report, commissioned by Huawei Technologies, found that such measures could cost the UK economy £18.2bn and the countries competitive lead in 5G. British mobile operators had made “significant” progress […]

The news channel’s media critic Brian Stelter says CNN will have live “fact-checks” for the RNC, leaving many to wonder where those fact-checks were during the respective Democratic event. Warning about a possible “stream of disinformation” at the RNC, scheduled to take place from August 24 through August 27, Stelter promised CNN will “fact-check” and “cut away” from the event as needed. He also blasted rival Fox News network for their coverage of the Democratic National Convention and their conservative bias. “There is an asymmetry in our media…where Fox is off there on the right in ways that other networks are […]

Reports suggesting that the Trump administration is urging Tel Aviv to block China from the development of 5G infrastructure in Israel emerged in late May, falling in line with Washington’s confrontation with Chinese tech giant Huawei over its alleged connections with Beijing intelligence. Israel and the United States are close to signing a so-called Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that suggests Tel Aviv would refrain from using Chinese technology in building up the country’s 5G infrastructure, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing unnamed US government sources. “We’re optimistic that Israel will take a clean approach to 5G and choose to only allow trusted […]

The A&E TV network has seen its viewership dive bomb after dropping its popular cop-based reality show ‘Live PD.’ Though the woke move decimated its prime time audience, the channel insists the decline is only “temporary.” Some six weeks after A&E shelved the show – which followed on-duty police officers on patrol in real time – the network’s prime time viewership has tanked by 49 percent, according to Nielsen ratings data first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Friday. Its total daily average viewership collapsed by more than a third. Though the network labeled the drop as a “temporary hit […]

Despite multiple employee deaths from the coronavirus and dozens of positive test results, telecom giant Dish Network Corporation, and one of its prominent subsidiaries Sling TV, have charged ahead with office reopenings with no potential end to the pandemic in sight. As a result, employees are terrified and disillusioned. “If I get the coronavirus because I had to be in the office during the pandemic and someone in my family dies as a result, will Sling cover the burial or cremation expenses?” one exasperated employee asked the company during a recent meeting with company brass. In a virtual meeting last week […]

Kyber, a decentralized exchange (DEX), is preparing to share trading fees with KNC token holders. Launched Tuesday, KyberDAO will let users stake KNC and earn yields in more KNC, proportional to their stake. Yields won’t actually kick in for about two more weeks, but participants will need to participate in voting in the week prior in order to start accruing earnings. A growing trend in decentralized finance (DeFi) has been for users with significant holdings to earn returns by contributing those assets to DeFi applications that need liquidity. Launched in 2017, Kyber has always been designed as a DEX that connects […]
Lithuania has followed its neighbor Latvia’s lead to ban five RT channels based on “recommendations” from the country’s Foreign Ministry, but offered the same bogus and bizarre excuse for the decision. Indeed, officials in Vilnius were no more creative with their reasoning for the ban than those in Riga last month, as they came up with the same faulty logic to justify their censorship. Announcing the ban, the regulator said it was being handed down because RT is headed by Russian journalist Dmitry Kiselyov, who is under EU sanctions. In actual fact, Kiselyov has nothing to do with RT and heads […]
Sixteen Twitter accounts tied to a network of fake accounts designed to spread false information about Middle Eastern countries were suspended Monday after The Daily Beast sent Twitter the results of an investigation into the network. Twitter said the accounts were suspended for violating their platform manipulation policy. The network used fake personas to plant more than 90 opinion pieces in 46 different publications. The publications were largely conservative outlets including Washington Examiner, Newsmax, and American Thinker. The pieces espoused pro-United Arab Emirates beliefs and were tough on Iran, Turkey, and Qatar. Members of the network created fake credentials to give themselves more credibility, and […]
Savvy attackers might be able to “loot” bitcoin from others by way of the Lightning Network if users aren’t careful, a new cybersecurity report warns. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem computer scientists Jona Harris and Aviv Zohar have taken a closer look at a “systemic” Lightning Network attack that could lead to loss of funds. The attack, which they describe in their new paper, “Flood & Loot: A Systemic Attack on the Lightning Network,” preys on Bitcoin congestion. The problem with the Bitcoin blockchain is that it’s slow to settle payments and it only supports a few transactions per second. The […]
In late February, the British government announced that it would give Huawei a limited role in building the UK’s 5G infrastructure, despite previous US warnings that the move could potentially compromise US-British intelligence sharing. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to start excluding the use of Huawei technology in the country’s 5G network this year “in a major about-turn”, The Telegraph reports. The newspaper referred to a report by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)’s National Cyber Security Centre which claims that US sanctions against Huawei has had a “severe” impact on the firm and will prompt the Chinese telecom giant […]
Now that President Donald Trump has finally said that he’s “all for masks” amid a massive surge in coronavirus cases, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy on Thursday wondered why wearing a mask to slow the spread of COVID-19 ever became politicized. “For some reason, over the last couple of weeks, a month, masks have become political,” the Fox host remarked during an interview. If he wants to identify that mysterious “some reason,” he needn’t look any further than his own colleagues. Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. months ago, Fox News hosts and guests have repeatedly […]

The Matic Network is a dapp-ready sidechain designed to take some of the heavy lifting off the bottleneck-prone Ethereum network. It claims it can handle anywhere between 4,000 to 10,000 transactions per second – on par with the likes of EOS and TRON that bill themselves as scalable alternatives. Matic is keen […]
Bitcoins stored on the Liquid Network were temporarily able to be seized by network moderators Thursday night. The potential vulnerability in the Bitcoin sidechain’s security parameters was discovered by Summa founder James Prestwich. Liquid – a network developed and overseen by Blockstream and meant to move bitcoins around more quickly than the Bitcoin blockchain – moved 870 bitcoins that had been stuck in a queue since June 11 waiting to be processed. Occurring Thursday at 17:19 GMT, the transfer used a less-secure two-of-three emergency multisig rather than the 11-of-15 typically used for such transactions. The funds were potentially seizable for about […]

Prosecutors in St. Petersburg are looking for two defendants in the ‘Network’ case to be given up to nine years behind bars. Yuly Boyarshinov, 28, and Viktor Filinkov, 25, are accused of being part of a terrorist organization. According to investigators, Kazakhstani national Filinkov and Russian citizen Boyarshinov have been members of the ‘Set’ (meaning Network) anarchist terrorism community since 2016.

The head football coach at Oklahoma State, Mike Gundy, has faced online wrath after being seen in a t-shirt bearing the logo of a conservative TV network, prompting calls for his firing and a star player to boycott the team.
