DNC hack info
Computer network security neophyte here. Any truth to the assertion in this article that the DNC hack was not a hack at all. There is what seems like a vague mention to the speed of data transfer in the article. How would an outside researcher know what the data transfer was?The article

[Academic] Searching literature regarding the lack of security patching in web frameworks
I'm currently in my final year of my master in Computer Science. I'm working on a security master thesis where the goal is to automatically patch a web framework whenever a security patch is released. There is a lot of frameworks that already have this feature, however my approach is a little bit different where I'm going to detect the critical impact areas of such an update. My question is if there is anyone out there that have stumbled opun some good articles or studies of this topic? What is the practice that the industry is using when it comes to patching their systems when a new security vulnerability is exploited? I'm working with Django as my web framework, however any research on other frameworks are much appreciated!

UniFi and UTM hardware, custom hardware?
I am a Director of Infrastructure and I just upgraded our hardware but we don’t have a UTM system.I've just installed a UniFi system, from a Unifi Gateway Pro, a PoE 24 port, and a 24 Switch.We have a 250 fiber network as well with a 150 backup from another company all together.Our company deal with a lot of private data, and we need an efficient but affordable UTM system as far as I can tell.Tell me if on wrong, but what I think we need is UTM hardware.I would go with Sophos, but the issue is that my finance department is more tight-fisted than Uncle Scrooge on tax day.So I need options. We have a 95% Mac house, if it matters.I don't mind building a UTM system if need be, Linux?Any help/suggestions on making/buying a UTM system that doesn't require an expensive yearly or multi-year contract would be preferred. (to appease the Scrooges)Thanks in advance.

If my company is running a man in the middle appliance to decrypt TLS traffic, does that mean they're able to read end to end encrypted chats such as Signal or Allo Private Chat?
My company offers free wifi for employees, but you need to install a root cert to use it, because there is a man in the middle cert minting utility.The noscript says it all. Does this break end to end encrypted messages?
