The Right Person as Microsoft CEO

Recent chatters within the Tech Press suggest that Microsoft is close to name the successor to Steve Balmer as Microsoft CEO.

Kara Swisher from Re/code wrote:

And, at this moment, those who have watched the process think that insider Satya Nadella, who is currently leading its enterprise effort, is the likeliest internal candidate to prevail.

That’s due to a number of reasons, including his familiarity with the company, where he has spent much of his career, as well as a strong technical background and a varied work history at Microsoft.

Considering that Nadella was heavily involved with loss-leader division within Microsoft, namely Bing, not sure if Nadella is the right candidate.

Yahoo Acknowledges Hacking Attempt, Resets Passwords for Affected Accounts.

From Yahoo Tumblr blog:

Security attacks are unfortunately becoming a more regular occurrence. Recently, we identified a coordinated effort to gain unauthorized access to Yahoo Mail accounts. Upon discovery, we took immediate action to protect our users, prompting them to reset passwords on impacted accounts.

Based on our current findings, the list of usernames and passwords that were used to execute the attack was likely collected from a third-party database compromise. We have no evidence that they were obtained directly from Yahoo’s systems. Our ongoing investigation shows that malicious computer software used the list of usernames and passwords to access Yahoo Mail accounts. The information sought in the attack seems to be names and email addresses from the affected accounts’ most recent sent emails.

Yahoo has initiated password rest to affected accounts.

Upon reading this announcement I changed the passwords to all my Yahoo account. Yes, I do have multiple Yahoo accounts.
