The email breach at multinational accountancy firm Deloitte is claimed to have been much more widespread than the company has admitted, and compromised a server that hosted mail from 350 clients, including four US government departments and the UN. A "technical error" has been blamed by Dow Jones for a story that was issued on its news wires overnight, saying that Google was buying Apple – and for a relatively paltry sum of US$9 billion.

The pendulum is swinging away from the cloud for IoT, Dell Technologies believes, and so the company is promoting a three-tier architecture. Dell has four new product development initiatives underway to support its new IoT strategy. Accounting software company Xero has launched machine learning automation of account codes and bills which it says is designed to ensure greater accuracy and reduction in the time small businesses spend creating bills.
