A holiday week in the U.S. and U.K. means five days worth of headlines in four business days. Here’s what we saw this week…

  • Wanna move on from WannaCry ? Not so fast, my friend. BitSight looks at the global impact of the ransomware that spread two weeks ago and found that the ransom collected is only around $100,000.
  • Dark Reading reports on cyber criminals attacking each other on the dark web. Can’t we all just get along? No, apparently not.
  • The price of a breach is high. Bitdefender looks at the Ponemon Institute’s study of the impact on stock prices.
  • China introduced a new cybersecurity law this week, with a penalty of 50K-500K yuan. CNN Tech looks at what this could mean for companies around the world.
