Today's Story Highlights

Mnuchin Sounds Alarm Over Facebook's Money-Minting Plan
The Treasury Department has "very serious concerns" about Facebook's new
Libra cryptocurrency, according to Secretary Steve Mnuchin. "Libra could
be misused by money launderers and terrorist financiers.
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have been exploited to support
billions of dollars of illicit activity, like cybercrime, tax evasion,
extortion, ransomware, illicit drugs, human trafficking."

The Online Grocery Shopping Comeback
Do you enjoy grocery shopping? Some shoppers love walking up and down
the aisles, seeing what's new, looking for what's on sale, and getting
new ideas. They often pick up things that weren't on their list.
However, while many shoppers love that experience, others don't. They
would rather run in and out as quickly as possible. That's where online
grocery shopping comes into play.

Isn't It Time to Buy Cyber Insurance?
Every day we read stories about data breaches and cyberattacks on
business and government websites, and the resulting the loss of
personally identifiable information. Cybercrime is on the rise, and
given the ever-evolving methods of attack, meaningful relief and
reliable measures to fend off cybercriminals are unlikely in the
foreseeable future. Companies need to insure against cybertheft.

The Subscription Model: The Shining Star of E-Commerce
Subscription sales have become a strong part of e-commerce. Everything
from razors to dog toys to movies is being sold on the subscription
model, and there is no sign of letting up. "Our customers tell us that
opening their BarkBox with their dog is one of the best experiences they
share every month," said Allison Stadd, vice president of marketing at
Bark, about its monthly dog supply box.
