Downed U.S. drone points to cyber vulnerabilities

The U.S. military disabled a drone’s electronics when it was downed at the Black Sea to minimize its intelligence value. Military drones are desirable hacking targets due to valuable data they collect. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled new anti-hacking proposals and the Justice Department shut down a cryptocurrency mixer used for laundering money. Microsoft warned of new cyberattacks by Russian operators, while a patched Outlook vulnerability used by Russian spies was disclosed.
