Hackers via YourAnonGlobal on Twitter

Welcome to Wednesday, kittens! The Jan Brady of weekdays, Wednesday brings the short bus sites catching up on the stories that broke over the weekend, plus more, worse details of pre-existing stories. We’ll try to dig around and find a little levity, but we may need a backhoe, as the cybernews landscape is covered with a thick sludge of What Edward Snowden Told You Last Year, Now Confirmed By Kaspersky and ZOMG BANKS HAXXORED! which is more or less business as usual, even if the rest of the world is just catching on.

You read it here first, so you get the smug points.
