Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Foils Russian Attack on GOP Think Tanks
Microsoft has torpedoed websites designed to steal credentials from
visitors to two Republican Party think tanks. The malicious websites
were among six the company took down last week. A group of hackers
affiliated with the Russian military created the sites, according to
Microsoft. It apparently was the same group that stole a cache of email
from the DNC during the 2016 presidential campaign.

5 Important Healthcare Cloud Security Factors to Weigh
The healthcare cloud has been growing incredibly, becoming an ever-more-
important element of health information technology, or HIT. There are
many reasons why the HIT cloud has been becoming more prominent, such as
research and development and collaboration. Since the cloud has been
expanding so rapidly, this may be a good time to reconsider security.

Nvidia's Convincing Unreality
When I read the book Ready Player One , I really got excited about the
future of virtual reality, but the movie really didn't do the book
justice. Some blockbusters have succeeded in interspersing computer
graphics with real people and making it hard to tell the difference.
Still, a totally rendered movie still looks like animation and you just
don't get the film quality you get from, well, film.

Celebrating Cable TV and All the Wonders That Followed
One of my reporting beats is TV technology. In my lifetime I've seen
some of the most significant advances in television, and unlike many who
take it for granted, I have a very deep respect for TV. My actual
birthday is in January, but Aug. 21 is a date that is much more
momentous to me. Back in 1980, it was the date on which my family was
first connected to cable TV.

Oracle Open-Sources GraphPipe to Support ML Development
Oracle has open-sourced GraphPipe to enhance machine learning
applications. The project's goal is to improve deployment results for
machine learning models, noted Project Leader Vish Abrams. That process
includes creating an open standard. The company has a questionable
relationship with open source developers, so its decision to open-source
GraphPipe might not receive a flood of interest.
