Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law Saturday that allows the Kremlin to make foreign media outlets reveal their funding sources and label their content as the work of "foreign agents," Reuters reports.
Why it matters: The move comes in retaliation to U.S. allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. The U.S. government recently branded Kremlin-funded Russia Today as a "foreign agent."
Only half of consumers report they think they can tell which web sites are safe for online shopping and 35% of Americans claim they have stopped an online purchase out of security fears, according to the Global Cybersecurity Alliance (GCA) and Zogby Analytics survey.
Why it matters: Cyber Monday is next week. More fake web sites are launched during the holiday shopping season than at any other point during the year.
