Some observers think Putin thinks the Americans started that whole destabilization and delegitimation influence ops struggle. He's probably wrong, but there you go. Cutlet Maker malware jackpots ATMs. BoundHook stealth tool demonstrated. Minecraft malware got into Google Play. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS with a follow up on President Trump’s executive orders.
