He's Not Dead! Reuters Publishes Premature Obituary Of George Soros

Reuters published an obituary of billionaire investor
and philanthropist George Soros on Thursday.
Only one problem: he’s not dead.

In a wide-ranging 1,222 word report written by reporter Todd Eastham,
Reuters eulogized Soros with this fill-in-the-blank lede: “George Soros,
who died XXX at age XXX, was a predatory and hugely successful financier and investor,
who argued paradoxically for years against the same sort
of free-wheeling capitalism that made him billions.”

It was his older brother, Paul, who died.

'Master key' to Android phones uncovered

A "master key" that could give cyber-thieves unfettered access
to almost any Android phone has been discovered by security research firm BlueBox.

The bug could be exploited to let an attacker do what they want
to a phone including stealing data, eavesdropping or using it to send junk messages.

The loophole has been present in every version of the Android operating system released since 2009.

Google said it currently had no comment to make on BlueBox's discovery.

Oh, by the way, there is this too...

The Proton M has destroyed about 10 satellites in the past few years. This one destroyed, I believe, three satellites.
