Today's Story Highlights

Twitter Alerts Users to State-Sponsored Cyberattack Threat
Twitter last week began warning some of its members that they may be the
target of a state-sponsored attack on their accounts. Coldhak posted to
its Twitter account a copy of the warning it received. It's among a
small number of accounts that state-sponsored actors may be targeting in
an attempt to obtain information such as email addresses, IP addresses
and phone numbers, Twitter warned.

AI Programmed to Learn at Human Speed
Researchers have created a computational model that enables artificial
intelligence to learn the way humans do, according to an article
published last week. The model gives AI the ability to recognize
handwritten alphabetical characters as fast as humans can. Researchers
reversed engineered the way people address problems and built an AI
algorithm for that approach.

Hot Hacker Targets in 2016: Fantasy Sports, Professional Services

next year's cybersecurity trends. Here are some predictions from

the outfits as gambling enterprises. In 2016, the sites will get
attention from another quarter: hackers.
