New U.S. Cyber-Security Law May Hinder Lenovo's Sales Growth
The funding bill President Barack Obama signed this week didn't just prevent a government shutdown. It also included a provision requiring that U.S. government technology purchases first go through a cyber-espionage review process--a move that could potentially impact the sales of Chinese tech companies like Lenovo, which relies on sales to U.S. government agencies and schools as part of its North American growth strategy.

Cyber Attacks Against Journalists Are On The Rise, Says Advocacy Group
More journalists are now the target of cyber attacks, said the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ deputy director Robert Mahoney said cyber attacks on individuals and news organizations have increased notably over the past few years and that the practice serves as easy and inexpensive censorship. In a press conference with reporters, Mahoney cited the recent attacks on The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal by Chinese hackers, but said other news organizations and journalists in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other regions had also been subjected to cyberattacks.
