...and you guessed it...inside Trump Tower we go. Mike Flynn was an advisor for an offshoot of NSO. Read this article and learn about how vulnerable your devices are. fastcompany.com/40469864/the-b…

Now why would two of NSO Group’s co-founders, hackers Shalev Hulio and Omri Lavie create kaymera.com? Security software you voluntarily put on your phone? To protect you from their hacking software ...or to Trojan horse you? #KasperskyMuch? citizenlab.ca/2016/08/millio…
