Activist attacked by advanced targeted PHISHING: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/phish-future

Scary, are Big Brother agents fighting free expression that does not fits them well?

Internet wide security update on hold: https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2017-September/016766.html

Quote
There are a number of reasons why systems may not be ready to accept the new KSK key:

An old configuration with the 2010 key written into the code itself.
A failure to implement the RFC 5011 protocol that will automatically update the key.
Flaws or conflicts in software that prevent the automatic rollover from happening, or accepting the change when it does happen.
No matter what the reason, it is an indication of how incredibly difficult it is to update the internet on a network-wide basis. Just look at IPv6.

The only thing is that I'm not surprised about what MS gets up to or in this case doesn't get up to.
