Amanda recently did a show about the legal and illegal markets for data and tells us how useful these steps actually are. It's news you can use to protect yourself, whether or not you've been part of a data breach!

Under Pat Gelsinger, Intel fell behind rivals and was late to the game in AI and its foundry business. Is the outgoing CEO to blame?
