Today's Story Highlights

Hackers Home in on Health, Education, Government Sectors
A New York healthcare provider, California's higher education system and
the Department of Energy have become the latest targets of data bandits.
The latest massive data breach at a healthcare provider reportedly took
place at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, which last week revealed that
the personal data of more than 10 million people was at risk due to an
attack that dates back to December 2013.

WiFi, Move Over - Here Comes LiFi
Disney researchers last week demonstrated Linux Light Bulbs -- a
protocol for a communications system that transmits data using visible
light communication, or VLC, technology. Linux Light Bulbs can
communicate with each other and with other VLC devices -- such as toys,
wearables and clothing -- over the Internet Protocol, functioning as a
LiFi network in much the same way that WiFi works.

Unassuming iPhone 6s Could Knock Some Socks Off
Muffled by the rumors Apple TV had gone Hollywood and the giggles the
Apple Pencil provoked, the latest additions to Apple's core product line
-- the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus -- had to settle for a smaller share of the
headlines coming out of last week's Hey Siri event. Although the iPhones
received less media attention this year, it was not due lack of forward-
facing features.

Google, Twitter Forge Open Source Publishing Partnership
Google and Twitter reportedly are collaborating on an open source
project that focuses on helping publishers bring instant articles to
mobile phone subscribers. Facebook launched its Instant Articles feature
earlier this year. Apple and Snapchat reportedly have similar tools in
development. The Google and Twitter team-up "is a very important
development," said Zebra Social CEO Jordani Sarreal.
