Podcast
Inside the Hunt for Chinese Hackers (19:05)
The recent report from the security company Mandiant about Chinese
hacking practices has been international fodder all week -- for media
outlets eager to report, and Chinese officials eager to deny. In the
process, the firm has found itself in the public spotlight. Dan
McWhorter, managing director of Mandiant's threat intelligence unit,
discusses the roots of the investigation.

Today's Story Highlights

Risk Management for Rapid Technology Adoption
Everyone knows that protecting an organization's technology footprint
has always been a delicate balancing act. Nowadays, literally everything
about a given organization's technology portfolio is in a near-constant
state of change; technologies change, usage changes and the threat
landscape changes.

iWatch-y Patent Greases the Gears of Concept Designers
After revolutionizing the world of portable music with its iPod and
creating the need for apps for just about everything with its iPhone,
Apple could be looking to make time with an iWatch. While the device
won't likely change the way people interact with the Earth's rotation,
it could put numerous functions on the wearer's wrist. Or it might just
be some old vaporware.

Slick Syncing May Sell You on Firefox for Android
I've taken to browsing the Web with a mobile device like a duck to
water, despite the generally appalling user experience. I remember well
the days of balancing hot and heavy Dell laptops on my middle, recumbent
on a sofa -- peering awkwardly at an obscurely angled keyboard, lap
getting hotter and hotter. Relief came when the Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet debuted in the U.S. in November 2005.

Sony Debuts PS4 With More Whimper Than Bang
Sony officially introduced its long-anticipated PlayStation 4 video game
console at a media event in New York City on Wednesday. However, Sony
merely showed off its new controller -- it didn't actually unveil the
physical console, likely saving that newsworthy moment for the upcoming
E3 in Los Angeles in June.

China Defense Ministry Blasts Mandiant Hacking Report
China's defense ministry staged a news conference Wednesday to deny and
decry a report that the People's Liberation Army was engaged in
cyberwarfare against U.S. corporations, organizations and government
agencies. The denial specifically addressed the bombshell Mandiant
hacking study, which declared that the PLA's Unit 61398, located near
Shanghai, was one of the world's "most aggressive computer hacking
operations."
