TL;DR: It is argued that Mirai may represent a sea change in the evolutionary development of botnets--the simplicity through which devices were infected and its precipitous growth, and that novice malicious techniques can compromise enough low-end devices to threaten even some of the best-defended targets.

TL;DR: It is found that aggregated CT logs and Censys snapshots have many properties that complement each other, and that together they encompass over 99% of all certificates found by any of these techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how current voting systems walk the tightrope between security and privacy, and examine the current state-of-the-art voting systems' performance.

TL;DR: An in-depth investigation of the mechanisms underlying decentralized information control in Russia shows that large-scale censorship can be achieved in decentralized networks through inexpensive commodity equipment and suggests that data centers block differently from the residential ISPs both in quantity and in method of blocking, resulting in different experiences of the Internet for residential network perspectives and data center perspectives.

TL;DR: This report reports the first wide-scale measurement study of server-side geographic restriction, or geoblocking, a phenomenon in which server operators intentionally deny access to users from particular countries or regions, and finds that geob locking occurs across a broad set of countries and sites.
