1). EUROPOL: CALL BLOCKED – In a joint-operation between Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional) together with the Mossos d’Esquadra and the Portuguese Judicial Police (Policía Judiciária) effected 19 raids, seizing important digital and physical evidence of the crimes resulting in 54 Phone Hackers being identified and arrested. In addition to the raid netting a haul of computers, laptops, mobile phones & SIM cards the team went on to freeze their bank accounts.

2). DATA PROTECTION: United Kingdom – UK Data Protection
Bill aligns with the EUs GDPR
The UK has now published a Data Protection Bill, which is intended to “make data protection laws fit
for the digital age…”
  The initiative parodies several other EU Member States that have introduced similar bills to implement GDPR. The Bill reinforces the message that businesses in the UK should continue to prepare for GDPR compliance, as the protocols & obligations are
largely the same.

3). WHAT IS IoT – CyberKPI: The Internet of Things describes devices with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary concept that has transformed the way devices communicate and interact with each other. By creating a network of interconnected devices that collect and exchange data over the internet.
