It’s definitely something I’m going to be in for a long time.””How we pay for things now is very different from how we paid for things when I was a kid,” Brady said. “At the end of the day it’s transactions and how they’re happening between people in the space of three to four feet … it’s not exchanging dollar bills anymore, it’s passing along technology.””The world is changing, we all just have to understand it’s constant change and you can either be ahead of the curve or behind it and I’m choosing to be ahead of it,” he added. “As someone who wants to be on the forefront of things, I’m going to help create the trend and adopt it and recognize this is where the world is heading.”Brady didn’t say which coins he’s bought, but he’s indicated an interest in bitcoin.

Russian hackers launch major cyberattack through U.S. aid agency’s email system, Microsoft says

In this articleSWIAnnette Riedl | Picture Alliance | Getty ImagesThe Russian hackers thought to be behind the catastrophic SolarWinds attack last year have launched another major cyberattack, Microsoft warned Thursday.Microsoft said in a blog post that the hacking group, known as Nobelium, had targeted over 150 organizations worldwide in the last week including government agencies, think tanks, consultants, and non-governmental organizations.They sent phishing emails – spoof messages designed to trick people into handing over sensitive information or downloading harmful software – to more than 3,000 email accounts, the tech giant said.At least 25% of the targeted organizations are involved in international development, humanitarian, and human rights work, wrote Tom Burt, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of customer security and trust. “These attacks appear to be a continuation of multiple efforts by Nobelium to target government agencies involved in foreign policy as part of intelligence gathering efforts,” said Burt.Organizations across at least 24 countries were targeted, Microsoft said, with the U.S. receiving the largest share of attacks.The breach has been discovered three weeks before President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva.It also comes a month after the U.S. government explicitly said that the SolarWinds hack was carried

Elizabeth Holmes, founder and former chief executive officer of Theranos, center, exits U.S. federal court in San Jose, California on May 6, 2021.Nina Riggio | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesIn the case of Elizabeth Holmes apparently all publicity isn’t good publicity.Attorneys for the former Theranos CEO are citing widespread negative coverage as a reason to expand selection for the pool of jurors in her upcoming criminal fraud trial.A 21-page motion filed late Thursday spelled out example after example of highly descriptive and unflattering stories in the past several years about Holmes.”The publicity is pervasively negative,” lawyers for Holmes said. Adding she is, “routinely referred to in derisive and inflammatory terms that are directly relevant to the wire fraud charges in this case. Media coverage describes her as a ‘fraud,’ ‘fraudster,’ ‘con artist,’ ‘disgraced Theranos founder,’ ‘scam artist,’ and a ‘raging psychopath.'”Holmes is asking for expanded jury summons and has proposed a written jury questionnaire. Lawyers for Holmes wrote, “media coverage also trades on prejudicial tropes and recurring themes, often relating to Ms. Holmes’ demeanor, voice, and physical appearance.” They say the negative publicity traces back to at least 2015, and has “focused intensely on Ms. Holmes personally, not simply on the
