Today's Story Highlights

Apple May Throw the Healthbook at You
Apple reportedly is working on a health and fitness tracking app called
"Healthbook," which could be a one-stop shop for iOS users interested in
using mobile tech to better keep track of their progress toward health
goals. The app reportedly would help users monitor blood pressure,
hydration, weight, respiratory rate, nutrition, physical activity, heart
rate, and other health information.

Report: NSA Listens to International Calls From the Past
The National Security Agency reportedly possesses a system that enables
it to record telephone calls -- all telephone calls -- in a foreign
country, and review conversations for up to a month after they took
place. The system is said to be akin to a time machine, allowing for
retroactive snooping on foreign targets. Billions of calls are stored in
a 30-day rolling buffer.

Target Breach Lesson: PCI Compliance Isn't Enough
"Target was certified as meeting the standard for the payment card
industry in September 2013. Nonetheless, we suffered a data breach."
Those words by Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel affirmed what security
experts know as gospel: Compliance does not equal security. "Just
because you pass a PCI audit does not mean that you're secure," said
HyTrust President Eric Chiu.

Horvath Hurls Harassment Charges in Fiery GitHub Exit
Adding fuel to the debate over the treatment of women in tech, Julie Ann
Horvath, a developer at GitHub, has stormed out of her job, accusing the
company of ignoring harassment in the workplace. One of the company's
three cofounders and his wife had persistently intimidated her, and an
engineer had repeatedly ripped out her code after she turned down his
advances, Horvath claimed.
