The Cyber Shot Across the Bow: Data Manipulation and GPS Spoofing
In September 2015, in an appearance before the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that the next “push of the envelope” in cybersecurity might be attacks that change or manipulate electronic information in order to compromise its accuracy or reliability, instead of the more easily detected deletion or disruption of access to information. With data integrity in question, he explained, decision making by senior government officials (both civilian and military), corporate executives, investors or others could be “impaired.” Two years later, we may now be seeing the beginning of such insidious attacks, in the context of GPS spoofing — a technique that sends false signals to systems that use GPS signals for navigation.
On Sept. 1, 2017, the U.S. Government released U.S. Maritime Advisory 2017-006, alerting the shipping industry to multiple instances of GPS interference experienced during the week of June 19, 2017 by more than 20 vessels operating in the northeastern part of the Black Sea. News of this incident had spread earlier, with many ships in waters near the Russian port of Novorossiysk complaining that over the course of several days their GPS systems showed their location to be at Gelendshik Airport, more than 32 kilometers inland.

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
