In a massive cyber attack, malicious software has infected more than 75,000 computers in 99 countries, including hospitals in England held hostage by ransomware.
In a year when former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowdens revelations about the collection of U.S. phone data have sparked privacy fears, data miners have been quietly using their tools to peek into Americas medicine cabinets.
A leaked memo from Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Leo Apotheker warning of "another tough quarter" underscores the urgent concerns about the technology heavyweight's growth strategy and the challenges facing its new leader.
