Katharina Volz is on a mission to solve one of medicine's most intractable problems: a cure for Parkinson's disease. But, unlike the scores of researchers before her who have tried – and failed – to find a treatment for the complex neurodegenerative disorder, Volz is taking a new approach: she's making a map. "Part of the problem is that Parkinson's is really poorly understood, and it's a really complex disease so it's difficult to get a full picture of what's actually happening," says Volz, founder and CEO of medical startup OccamzRazor. She hopes that by using artificial intelligence to map everything we know about Parkinson's, her startup will be able to fill the gaps in our knowledge and home in on potential cures. In 2015, Volz had just finished her PhD in stem cell biology at Stanford when she received a phone call with the news that a close relative had been diagnosed with the disease.

The hacker sought buyers for maintenance documents about the MQ-9 Reaper drone, a remotely controlled aerial vehicle used by the Pentagon and other parts of the government to conduct offensive strikes or reconnaissance and surveillance operations. Discovery of the attempted sale of the stolen documents comes amid heightened concern about how U.S. military secrets may be insufficiently protected from hackers. Military officials said last month that the Defense Department's inspector general was investigating a major security breach after Chinese hackers allegedly stole data pertaining to submarine warfare, including plans to build a supersonic antiship missile. There was no evidence that the hacker who acquired the Reaper drone documents was affiliated with a foreign country, or that he was intentionally seeking to obtain military documents, said Andrei Barysevich, a senior threat researcher at Recorded Future, the U.S.-based cybersecurity firm that spotted the attempted sale. Instead, the hacker scanned large parts of the internet for misconfigured Netgear routers and exploited a two-year-old known vulnerability, involving default login credentials, to steal files from compromised machines.
