A Russian-speaking hacking group that, for years, has targeted governments around the world is experimenting with a clever new method that uses social media sites to conceal espionage malware once it infects a network of interest. Oops, she did it again
I know I'd never think to look there.

Wall Street Journal is one of the most respected media outlets, which makes them eligible for setting up a paywall for articles. It means that only paying subscribers could read the articles on the website. There used to be a “first click free” feature on the WSJ that allowed first-time visitors to read articles for free, but it was removed in February as users were taking advantage of it by clearing browser cookies. The repercussions of removing the feature turned out to be bad for the website as the traffic dipped by nearly half along with the ranking on Google.
How dare Google stop directing people to content they're unlikely to be able to access. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That has an easy solution: hitting the "back button"
and I actually prefer that before getting publicity ads with malicious javascript or viri on sites I do am able to access.

I respectfully beg to differ. If I search for something, I don't want to waste my time visiting a myriad of links I cannot read before reaching one that is not behind a paywall.
Also, how the hell are Google supposed to index sites behind a paywall?

Free preview content? Google owns a "suscription" (you give me access or you don't appear in the search)? other things?

PayWalledCrappyContentByScumbags.con can identify spiders by IP or activity and feed them non-paywall restricted versions of the page to get indexed.

Deployment of IPv6 is accelerating -- but it's home and mobile users that are benefitting from the performance improvements first, a new report says. I know, I keep hitting all those IPv6-only sites

Google's IPv6 report[^] offers more detailed breakdowns of data than that article. I'm a little bemused to see the author single out India for praise slightly over 20% adoption when Belgium is just under 50%, followed by Greece and the USA in the 30+% club, and Germany and Switzerland in the high 20s.

I can see the next generation of posters that'll be going up in offices that deal with classified material now. The Fed's been joking about how to win several decades of room and board at their expense for the last decade. (Probably longer; but I can't speak to before I worked for a contractor that did that sort of stuff.) This idiot will make it even easier than the ease with which they busted her. "Did you leak it?" "Yes." *Slaps handcuffs on*

Kaspersky claims Microsoft has been removing its software when users upgrade to Windows 10, and enabling its own Windows Defender solution. We all know Microsoft is known as a company that always treats competitors fairly and equally
I think I bent my sarcasm joint with that one.
