ECB Hacked in Attempt to Extort Cash
The European Central Bank has been hit by an electronic attack in a breach of security that only emerged following an attempt to extort cash from the institution in return for the information stolen from its website. The ECB said on 24th July that email addresses and contact data had been taken from part of the website where people sign up for conferences and visits. Twenty thousand email addresses and a smaller number of street addresses and telephone numbers left by people registering for events held by the central bank were compromised by the theft. No market sensitive information was stolen. The central bank first learnt of the attack when it received an anonymous email demanding money in exchange for the stolen information. The ECB said it would not pay anything in return for the information. It did not disclose how much the blackmailer had requested. (Agency)
 
Windows System set to be 'Unified' 
Microsoft has said work is under way to "unify" parts of its different Windows operating systems. Chief executive Satya Nadella discussed the effort while briefing analysts following earnings update. "We will streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system for screens of all sizes," he said. The firm also confirmed it had recently scrapped a new type of tablet. "During the quarter, we reassessed our product roadmap and decided not to ship a new form factor that was under development," said Amy Hood, the company's chief financial officer. Leaks had indicated that the firm had originally planned to launch the Surface Mini in May - a small tablet running the Windows RT system, a version of the OS designed for ARM-based chips. (Agency)
