Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Brian Krebs ? These terrifying tales sent me looking for a book I had been meaning to read for quite some time. My former Washington Post colleague  Brian Krebs  left the newspaper in 2009 to dedicate  himself  to a blog on cybersecurity: KrebsOnSecurity.com. Out of  his  work and research came âSpam Nation: The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime â From Global Epidemic to Your Front Door.â
But  Krebs  has made a background believer out of me.
âThe Internet of today is truly a transformative communications and learning tool that radically enriches the lives of billions each day â  Krebs  writes. âYet  never before in the history of the Internet has this medium been more fraught with snares and neâer-do-wells looking to fleece the unwary.
With our spam filters and the constant drilling to not open suspicious emails  weâve been lulled into a false sense of security   Krebs  says.
âThe spam ecosystem is a constantly evolving technological and sociological crime machine that feeds on itself â writes  Krebs . âThus far  the criminals responsible for unleashing this daily glut of digital disease are doing a stupendous job of overwhelming the security industry.â
 Krebs  spends a lot of time introducing the major and minor spam players. Itâs like a Jason Bourne movie but with criminals who donât shoot at folks (well  some do). They instead fire out malicious spam infecting tens of millions of computers and  as a result  rake in millions of dollars.
Waiting for you at the end of the book is a very resourceful chapter on how to protect yourself. Youâll be safer following  Krebs âs three rules for online security:
Even if you donât buy âSpam Nation â make  Krebs âs blog regular reading.  His  reporting will frighten you. It does me. As  he  writes  âthose who endeavor to remain blissfully unaware of their role in becoming part of the solution will almost invariably end up becoming part of the problem.â
Iâm hosting an online discussion about âSpam Nationâ at noon Eastern time on Nov. 2 at washingtonpost.com/discussions.  Krebs  will join me to answer your cybersecurity questions.

Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jr. ? âFire and Fury: Inside the Trump White Houseâ by Michael Wolff  due out on Tuesday  set off a political firestorm with its portrayal of  Trump  as not particularly wanting to win the presidency in 2016 and unprepared for the job.
Charles Harder   Trump âs personal lawyer  provided a legal notice to Reuters that warned of possible claims including libel against Wolff and publisher Henry Holt & Co and said they would try to block publication of the book.
 Trump  cut ties with Bannon on Wednesday  saying  his  former adviser had âlost  his  mind â in a blistering statement issued after comments attributed to Bannon in the book were made public.
 Trump  lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bannon on Wednesday asking him not to disclose any confidential information. They said Bannon had breached an agreement by communicating with Wolff about  Trump    his  family and the campaign and made âdisparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statementsâ about them.
In the book  Bannon was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as âtreasonousâ and âunpatriotic.â The meeting  held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton  was attended by Donald Trump Jr.  Trumpâs son-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort  who was Trumpâs campaign manager at the time.
Trumpâs statement also diminished Bannonâs role in the election victory and accused him of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign  Bannon had headed conservative Breitbart News website and he proved to be a divisive figure in the White House. He returned to Breitbart after being fired  although he reportedly continued to talk with  Trump .
Bannonâs reaction to the book controversy has been muted. In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke  he called  Trump  a âgreat manâ and pledged continued support for his agenda.
The president took note. âHe called me a great man last night so he obviously changed his tune pretty quick â  Trump  told reporters on Thursday. âI donât talk to him. Thatâs a misnomer.â
A lawsuit could hurt  Trump  because Bannonâs lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense  Moss said.
Bannon helped  Trump  shape a populist  anti-establishment message and had been the presidentâs link to his hard-line conservative base of support  which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.
The story that triggered the Trump-Bannon split was an offshoot of the investigation into whether  Trump  campaign aides colluded with Russia to sway the election to  Trump   allegations  Trump  and Moscow deny.

Neutral
