We’re still learning about a sweeping, year-long heist revealed by a Russian cyber security firm Monday. Hackers reportedly got away with up to $1 billion from the various banks by pulling little bits from about 100 banks over time. We chatted with one expert about how much a breach could have gone unnoticed. Then, the U.S. is trying to catch up on tech training, and apprenticeships could be the answer. Labor secretary Thomas Perez calls them “the other college, but without the debt.” Finally: very few people buy movie tickets online, but industry watchers are looking to change that because the opportunities for data collection might be too good to pass up.
