7 June 2017 — Following last month's WannaCry ransomware attack, a new attack labelled Fireball has targeted corporate networks, with around 250 million computers affected worldwide.

In response to the third UK terror attack in three months, UK Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to tackle encryption as part of new terror legislation if her government is re-elected this week. Commenting on the internet usage of terrorists Mrs. May said, “We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed. Yet that is precisely what the internet, and the big companies provide.”
