A cautionary tale about handing over your DNA - this testing firm now appears to have vanished. I did not expect the trail to lead us to Moscow and a Russian billionaire. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz7w…

Remember the craze for unlocking the ancestry secrets inside your DNA? 23andMe - which has a database of the genetic make-up of 15 million customers - has just narrowly avoided being de-listed from the stock exchange. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gm…

Hunt for Bitcoin's elusive creator Satoshi Nakamoto hits another dead-end. I wrote up the experience of this bizarre press conference and it’s wider context: bbc.com/news/articles/c079zp…
I’m at a London event billed as the ‘unveiling of the true legal identity of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto’. An odd set up to the press conference as the organiser asked me to pay £500 to attend and appear on stage to ask questions of the billionaire mystery man.

Telegram: 'The dark web in your pocket'. There's no doubt criminality is happening on other social networks too, but my experiment hints at a broader problem that many in law enforcement have been concerned about for years. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdey…
