US intelligence agencies are claiming that the Russian government leveraged the popularity of Kaspersky Labs’ cybersecurity software to create what is tantamount to a global spy network with the company’s explicit cooperation. However, Germany’s intelligence agencies say they’ve found “no evidence” to suggest these reports are true.

In the late 90's and early 2000's, I spent a lot of time travelling through a host of the world's airports.
Yesterday we covered the latest James O'Keefe undercover video bombshell which featured the New York Times' Audience Strategy Editor, Nick Dudich, admitting to exploiting his position at the Times to promote content that intentionally sought to, among other things, damage President Trump's businesses as a means towards forcing his resignation (see: O'Keefe Strikes Again, Catches NYT Editors On Hidden Camera: "Targeting Trump's Businesses, His Dumb F**k Of A Son").
Facebook and Instagram are down for thousands of users across the world this morning, with websites like Outage Report recording “extreme” outages in the US Hungary, Kosovo, Germany, Poland and other countries. The sites went down shortly after 11 a.m.
This is the second widespread outage for both social networks (Instagram is owned by Facebook) in less than two months. Facebook blamed the most recent outage, which occurred on Aug. 26, on unspecified “technical issues.”
It appears that "fake news" has finally made it to the news wires.
