The Latest in IT Security

By Sarah McBride SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Ongoing tensions over how to handle social inequality in San Francisco sparked an a rare outburst among venture capitalists Monday.

The citys role in bolstering technology, including giving tax breaks to Twitter Inc and other companies, has come under fire in recent months as complaints rise about income inequality.
