THE STORY – FINGERPRINTS STOLEN IN BREACH
Cybersecurity, hackers, breaches. These are all things that have become way too familiar recently. And it is about to get even more familiar. Last spring, the Office of Personnel Management suffered a nasty breach said to be one of the biggest data breaches ever. Hold on tight because it just got bigger. (Source: theSkim)
What to say when you thought TSA clearance was bad…
Yesterday the government gave us an update and said that 5.6 million fingerprint records were stolen. Yes, 5.6 million. This reveals that much more was stolen than OPM thought. Who has these fingerprints and what they are using them for is still TBD. (Source: BBC News)

Things are about to get real awkward. U.S. officials have blamed the breach on China. The U.S is staying on the down low about this though. Chinese President Xi Jinping is on his first visit to America and on his agenda is a talk with President Obama about cybersecurity. Cue the tension. (Source: Reuters)
Quote of the Day: “Thank you my robot assistant…I mean Siri.”
Siri helps us on a daily basis. Finding us restaurants, sending text messages or providing a laugh when she doesn’t understand. Well the robot we all love is getting an update. Siri is becoming hands-free to iPhone 6S users. Need Siri but don’t want to hold down the button? All you have to do is say, “Hey Siri” and she will start listening. The feature used to be available on older iPhones, but the iPhones had to be charging for “Hey Siri” to work. Now Siri will be listening to you whether it’s in the bottom of your purse or under your couch cushions. How convenient. (Source: The New York Times)
In case you missed it…
Yesterday the apocalypse almost hit. Facebook was down for 30 minutes and everyone lost all chill. How can we go on with our workday without Facebook access?! Thankfully, Twitter was working so everyone could share their confusion/anger/feelings with the world. Turns out Facebook was just experiencing some technical difficulties. Carry on. (Source: CNBC)
