Digital platforms are being used in ways that have been seen before during warfare.

Google has today announced that it has signed an agreement to buy Mandiant, a notable cybersecurity company, for $5.4 billion. The unit, once acquired, will be folded into Google’s Cloud team to ensure that it can offer an “end-to-end security operations suite” for its business customers. Mandiant CEO Kevin Mandia says that the deal will enable “organizations [to] effectively, efficiently and continuously manage and configure their complex mix of security products.” Google''s cloud platform is used by a number of major companies, and an outage towards the end of 2021 briefly knocked out Spotify, Snapchat, Etsy and Discord, amongst others. Mandiant isn’t likely to be a name on everyone’s lips, but it’s one of those companies who gets called in whenever bad things go down. It was hired by Equifax to look into its security practices after its massive security snafu in 2017, and T-Mobile entered into partnership with the company after its 2021 breach. It also works with major banks and governments to work on high-profile attacks involving state actors.

Etsy CEO talks earnings, raising seller fees, and advertising to men Yahoo Finance

Etsy To Slap Sellers With 30% Transaction Fee Hike (Again) Online marketplace Etsy appears to be screwing over its sellers (again) following a record-breaking fourth-quarter earnings report. The crafts-focused online marketplace announced raising seller transaction fees to 6.5% from 5%. The 30% hike is expected to go into effect on April 11. The transaction fee is the percentage of the total order amount Etsy charges when a seller makes a sale and is the second time the company has raised seller fees. The last time was in 2018 when it went from 3.5% to 5%. The added expense to sellers comes as Etsy announced fourth-quarter revenue of $717.1 million, up 16.2% year-over-year, which the company attributes to a strong Christmas shopping season. "We have demonstrated our ability to make improvements that directly translate into more sales for our sellers, as evidenced by record sales per seller in 2021," Etsy CEO Josh Silverman said in the earnings report. "Our new transaction fee will enable us to invest in key areas like marketing and support to further extend our strong momentum." Sellers on Etsy''s community blog weren''t happy with the company''s decision to increase fees.

The online marketplace could be poised for a rally.

"While they can have some huge swings, once the volatility''s over, I bet they won''t easily give back their gains," CNBC''s Jim Cramer said.
