ShadowBroker-leaked exploits continue to do damage. Hijacked Chrome extensions prove difficult to eradicate. New variants of Locky and other ransomware are out. "Pulse wave" DDoS attacks are observed. Researchers find DDoS-as-a-service for sale in Chinese online souks. Governments express suspicion of foreign IT. Extremist site loses hosts, but its content will go on, even as opposing vigilantes mistakenly dox innocent targets.
