The first speaker used, of all things, the creation of chemotherapy as his quintessential example of innovation. He told the story of how leukemia was a death sentence for children coming into the 1960s, with not only a 100 percent fatality rate but also a horrid end for each child.

Misdirection attacks use the initial hack to divert essential IT staff from a second more dangerous attack, which usually involves the use of stolen credentials to access more sensitive areas of a target. ...

"Layoffs tend to initially have a negative impact on a firm's ability to compete," he said, but once they're completed, Cisco "should be in a better position to staff up in areas that better address where the market's going.

On the DNC side, there are two parallel stories. One is the widely publicized theory that a Democratic staffer who recently was murdered had leaked information to WikiLeaks and that his death was connected to that. The other is that a hacker who bragged about leaking the information -- and claims there's a lot more where that came from -- did it on behalf of the Russian government, a claim he denied.
