Microsoft revenue, profit misses estimates
Microsoft Corp reported results that fell short of analysts' expectations, showing its high-profile cloud business cannot quite make up for weakness in its core PC market. Two categories showed lower operating profits, led by what Microsoft calls its intelligent cloud division, which includes its Azure cloud-services business as well as traditional server software. Despite revenue at Azure more than doubling, operating profits at the division shrank 14 percent while revenue grew 3 percent. Continued weakness in the personal computing market hobbled demand for one-time licenses for some of its products, the company said.

Chinese hackers seen exploiting cloud to spy on US
China-based hackers may target Internet-based e-mail, data storage and other services provided overseas by such companies as Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to spy on the U.S., a congressional commission found. The Chinese government wages "a large-scale cyber espionage campaign" and "has successfully targeted the networks of U.S. government and private organizations," the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission concludes in its annual report to Congress released yesterday. The commission for the first time said cloud computing, which connects Internet services, "represents a potential espionage threat." The report fails to cite any examples of the Chinese government using the technology in attacks. "Our focus has been on making sure that Defense Department or State Department data, or other government information, is secure," William Reinsch, chairman of the commission, told reporters before the report's release. "To the extent those entities use the cloud as well, we think that … [Read more...] about Chinese hackers seen exploiting cloud to spy on US
