Earlier today 25-year-old professional boxer Georgia O’Connor died after a bout with cancer. The boxer, whose physical vitality was admired by millions, was diagnosed with cancer just 17 […]
PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – An 18th-century war power has drawn interest to possibly give private firms more leeway to fight state-backed hackers.
