Today's Story Highlights

Garden-Variety Cybercrooks Breached Yahoo, Says Security Firm
The hackers who stole the data of hundreds of millions of Yahoo users
two years ago were two cybercriminal gangs, InfoArmor reported. That
finding contradicts the notion that state-sponsored actors were behind
the attack, which Yahoo suggested when it disclosed the breach. Further,
the number of users' records stolen is closer to 1 billion than to the
500 million Yahoo acknowledged.

Apple Steers Its Car Project All Over the Map
McLaren Technology Group, which manufactures Formula One and luxury
supercars, has denied rumors that it was engaging in discussions with
Apple regarding a possible purchase or strategic investment. Apple has
been pursing a highly secretive project to develop its own venture in
the electric and autonomous vehicle space, and it reportedly has entered
negotiations with McLaren on a potential deal.

Oracle OpenWorld
Larry Ellison was having too much fun. In his second keynote of this
year's Oracle OpenWorld user conference, he was talking about his
company's database, Oracle 12c, and comparing it highly favorably to
Amazon's competing databases. It seems Ellison always has fun, which is
one likely reason that the 72 year-old CTO and executive chairman of the
board, looks 52, sounds 42, and probably feels 32.

Adobe Leaps From AWS to Microsoft's Cloud
Microsoft has announced a series of major enhancements to its enterprise
cloud platform, as well as a new strategic partnership with Adobe,
advancing its drive to attract new business from core competitors like
Salesforce and Amazon. Microsoft has entered a strategic partnership to
make Azure the preferred cloud platform for the Adobe Marketing Cloud,
Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Document Cloud.

Germany Dope Slaps Facebook Over WhatsApp Data
Germany's data protection regulator on Tuesday ordered Facebook to stop
collecting and storing data from WhatsApp users in the country. Facebook
also must delete any data it already may have harvested from German
WhatsApp users, according to Johannes Caspar, Hamburg Commissioner for
Data Protection and Freedom of Information, who issued the order.
Facebook purchased WhatsApp two years ago.

The Growing Customer Trust Gap
Like most of you, I'm a bank customer -- and I expect that like me, most
of you are getting sick and tired of all the stories about how banks
abuse customers. Recent news about bad behavior in the banking industry,
as well as my own personal experiences, shows that banks don't care
about their customers. It's just the opposite: Banks seem to be trying
to squeeze every dime out of every customer.
