The Latest in IT Security

By Nate Raymond NEW YORK (Reuters) – Apple Inc has made a promising start to enhancing its antitrust compliance program after being found liable last year for conspiring to raise e-book prices, but more work is required, a court-appointed monitor said Monday. The assessment came in the first report issued by the monitor, Michael Bromwich, who found himself the subject of a bitter fight by Apple to put his work on hold while it pursues an appeal. In a 77-page report filed in U.S. District Court in New York, Bromwich said the relationship between his team and Apple has significantly improved since a federal appeals court in February rejected the iPhone makers bid to halt his work. But Bromwich said while progress had been made in enhancing Apples antitrust compliance program as ordered by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote, his team has only been able to speak with a limited number of company employees.
