01 CyberSecurity Update: Wall Street, Clinton, prepare for war, and more
In this issue we're concentrating more on cyberwar than security in general. As you read key articles, from reliable sources, you'll begin to get a picture of the global risks of digital risks. Playing into this situation is ICANN and their ever changing rules concerning rogue registrars, so be sure to see our ICANN report as well.

02 ICANN Report : impending trouble, Chinese, RySG Amendments, money & corruption
I had a discussion the other day with a supposedly 'computer savvy' person and was quite surprised to discover they knew nothing about the sordid history surrounding the DNS system and ICANN. Like most everyone else, they were quite honkey-dorey about the internet, thinking it's just fine and there's no need to worry. That in itself is cause for worry.
* Cruz touts bill as 'last chance' to delay internet domain handoff
* Next Round of New TLDs May Not Happen Until 2020, Says ICANN
* Chinese firms jump on trading opportunity in new domain names
* ICANN, RySG Propose Amendment to New gTLD Registry Agreement
* ICANN vs. the Federal Reserve
* ICANN sued by gTLD applicant

03 Facebook Update : Zuckerberg, your phone calls, Google Plus, Messenger, Censored, Publisher Reach and more
Another Facebook report, and there's so much news we can hardly decide which items are best. But issues are issues and most of the other info surrounding Facebook is just everyday crap. Here is some of the more important crap:
* Facebook addressed the conspiracy about listening to your phone calls
* How Mark Zuckerberg Led Facebook's War to Crush Google Plus
* Facebook might force you to install Messenger on Android
* CENSORED: Facebook deletes a Gatestone author's page!
