| Snowden fallout still echoes across cyber industry |
|
 By Ros Krasny WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden changed lives in the cyber community, from slowdowns in obtaining high-level security clearances to providing material for a "really good comedy routine." Experts at the Reuters Cybersecurity Summit this week were asked how Snowden, now living under asylum in Russia after exposing the National Security Agency's phone and Internet spying programs in 2013, altered their worlds. The creation of a mini "Snowden industry" is one on them. "I give a lot more speeches," said Michael Hayden, the former NSA and CIA director.

| Corrected - Bitcoin Foundation hit by resignations over new director |
|
 By Joseph Menn SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - (Corrects spelling of Mt. Gox CEO in paragraph 16 to Karpeles, not Kapeles) As the most prominent trade group pushing adoption of the electronic currency Bitcoin begins its annual conference on Friday, it is being roiled by controversy. At least 10 members of the nonprofit Bitcoin Foundation have resigned over last week's election of onetime Disney child star and current Bitcoin entrepreneur and financier Brock Pierce as a new director, officials at the group said. That includes allegations in lawsuits from three employees of Pierce's first company, bankrupt web video business Digital Entertainment Network, that he provided drugs and pressured them for sex when they were minors. "The allegations against me are not true, and I have never had intimate or sexual contact with any of the people who made those allegations," Pierce told Reuters via email.

Rajaratnam is the younger brother of Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam, who is serving an 11-year prison sentence for his 2011 conviction for insider trading. Two weeks ago, prosecutors dropped two other securities fraud counts against Rengan Rajaratnam following a written opinion from U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald that those charges were "internally inconsistent" with a conspiracy charge in the indictment.

 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House congratulated Narendra Modi on his election victory on Friday and said he would be granted a visa for U.S. travel. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies swept the country's elections, putting him in position to be prime minister, and ousted the ruling Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in a seismic political shift that gives the Hindu nationalist and his party a mandate for sweeping economic reform. Washington denied Modi a visa in 2005 over sectarian riots in Gujarat three years earlier, when he had just become chief minister of the state. ...
