TechByter Worldwide 2016.07.31: Xara for Photos, Pages, Publications, and Websites; Short Circuits; and Spare Parts.

We've looked at various components in Xara's collection for photographers, website developers, publication managers, and graphic designers. This week it's Xara Designer Pro X365's turn. That's the program for all of those people. In Short Circuits Even a much-diminished Yahoo was worth nearly $5 billion to Verizon. Don't panic, but PornHub has been hacked. There's a good reason and I'll explain why. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Advanced persistent threats are the bane of IT managers and Pieter Arntz of Malwarebytes has an outstanding explanation of what these things are. A group called the Cyber Senate will gather in September in London to address major security issues that face the industry today. And we'll look at a report from security expert Brian Krebs, who says that the Democratic National Committee, the Republican National Committee, and the Trump for President organization all fail a key test for email security, but Hillary Clinton's site passed. (Yeah, you read that right.)
