Thompson-Reuters says it's contained the World-Check database leak. Oculus' Twitter account is briefly hijacked (now restored to company control). Point-of-sale breach disclosures are confirmed. Why hackers hack when they do. Some governments' efforts to control information online seem to be having greater than expected success.
