  • ISMG Security and Technology Managing Editor Jeremy Kirk warn against jumping to conclusions based on technical evidence that suggests, but doesn't necessarily mean, that something illicit is occurring, such as links seen between the Trump campaign and a Russian bank;
  • BankInfoSecurity Executive Editor Tracy Kitten preview the ISMG Fraud and Breach Prevention Summit in London on Wednesday, Nov. 9;
  • An update on seven Indian embassies apparently being hacked, citing reporting by ISMG Principal Correspondent Varun Haran.
