Washington is reeling from the news of a hack at MedStar, one of the largest medical providers in the area. A computer virus infecting the organization's computer systems forced MedStar to shut down much of its online operations Monday. The exact nature of the attack is not yet known, but MedStar is just the latest victim in a string of cyberattacks that have hit the health-care industry hard. Here's what you need to know about how health-care providers became the latest digital battleground. Why would cybercriminals go after the health-care industry? The health-care sector has a lot of information that could be valuable to criminals and that makes them a juicy target. First, they often have

As Google looks to ramp up its public cloud efforts to compete with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, the tech titan may have eyes on Shopify. According to Re/Code, Shopify is among three billion-dollar companies Google is interested in acquiring. Valued just north of $2 billion, Ottawa's Shopify is an e-commerce platform that went public last year. For the full year 2016, Shopify currently expects revenues in the range of $320 million to $330 million and a GAAP operating loss in the range of $36 million to $42 million.

Last week, yet another American hospital was tossed into chaos after its computers were infected by hackers. This time it was Methodist Hospital, an averaged-sized medical facility located in western Kentucky. Methodist Hospital was operating "in an internal state of emergency" on Friday, according to its website. A section of its computer network had been rendered useless. The hospital got hit with ransomware, a particularly nasty type of computer virus that encrypts computer files. Hackers don't give you a key to unlock documents until they are paid a ransom.It's only the latest medical facility to be hit this way, falling in line with a prediction by cybersecurity firm Trend Micro (TMICF)

It looks like seven is Samsung's lucky number. Consumer Reports just named the Samsung Galaxy S7 the best smartphone it has ever reviewed. The S7 Edge was named its second best. Similar to our own experience with the phones, Consumer Reports found the devices to have great cameras, excellent battery life, super-fast processors, and very high resolution screens. The expandable storage and water-resistance features also helped the phones gain their top ratings, partially because they make the other parts of the phone stand out even more. For example, the phone can record video in 4K, or Ultra-HD. Those files are huge in size, which makes it important to have a microSD slot for memory cards. Ba

There's no question that a career in tech can be awesome. The tech industry offers employees unbelievable perks, tons of advancement opportunities, interesting work and high pay. But it's also an unquestionably male-dominated industry with a clear undercurrent of sexism. One place where that sexism is present is in the paychecks of women, finds a recent report by job hunting site Glassdoor. Glassdoor examined its database of hundreds of thousands of self-reported salaries, controlling for factors like age, education, years of experience, job title, employer and location. And it found than in many tech jobs, women are not being paid equally. Read full story here: https://goo.gl/5hGLCL

Three members of the pro-Assad Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) have been added to the FBI's cyber most wanted list. The men, named as Amad Umar Agha, Firas Dardar, and Peter Romar, have been charged with multiple counts of hacking and unlawful and unauthorised access to computer systems. The SEA is thought to be responsible for hacking the Associated Press Twitter account, which was used to claim the White House had been bombed. This led to a $136.5bn fall on Standard & Poor's 500 index. Agha and Dardar, both believed to be in Syria, have now been added to the FBI's "Cyber Most Wanted" list, with the bureau putting up a reward of $100,000 each for information that leads to their arrest. Romar,

Analysis: Using a zero-day flaw to bypass an iPhone's security is still a backdoor. With the potential to affect hundreds of millions of iPhone owners, will the FBI keep the flaw to itself? The FBI has called off a hearing scheduled for later Tuesday after an "outside party" said it found a way into the locked iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. The suspension of the Apple vs. FBI case took many by surprise. After weeks of strongly-worded rhetoric from the Justice Dept. arguing that Apple had "exclusive technical means" to unlock the shooter's iPhone, that turned out to be false. Prosecutors have yet to formally drop the case pending confirmation of the phone's unlocking. Exac

It’s hard to believe that Twitter turns 10 years old today, given that still so many people seem to misunderstand its purpose and appeal. Twitter is not Facebook – it’s not a place for socializing among friends, but rather delivers a feed of information that matches up with your own interests. In fact, some of the most notable moments on Twitter are those where the network has capitalized on that potential – like when Twitter served as a digital ground zero for Arab Spring, or captivated the world with images from U.S. Airways’ “Miracle on the Hudson” emergency landing in the Hudson River in 2009, for example. For the company’s 10 year anniversary, Twitter released a timeline of what it defi

Just the other day, we told you that a big change was coming to the Facebook apps found on BlackBerry 10 and BB OS. Starting on March 31st, the Facebook apps for those platforms will no longer work. After being updated by the user, they will link to the web based version of the social media site. The private APIs used on the native Facebook app for iOS and Android is not offered to BlackBerry, forcing the change, Days earlier, WhatsApp said that it would drop support for all BlackBerry operating systems by the end of the year. BlackBerry says that it tried to work with Facebook and WhatsApp to see if they would change their minds, but it was to no avail. BlackBerry suggests that disappoint

There's a misconception that's existed among iPhone owners for a long time: That Apple's smartphone is basically impenetrable to hackers. As we found out over the weekend, that sentiment is far from reality. Malware called XcodeGhost infected dozens of apps in the App Store, including the massively popular WeChat, with the intention of collecting peoples' passwords and sensitive data. Now there's a $1 million bounty for a hack that would allow someone to remotely break into iOS 9, Apple's latest software update for the iPhone and iPad. The iPhone may still be generally safer from malware than Android, but that doesn't mean it's unhackable. Until the recent XcodeGhost vulnerability that affec
