SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON - About a year ago, the U.S. security firm Palo Alto Networks began to hear from a flurry of companies that had been hacked in ways that weren't the norm for cybercriminals. Native English-speaking hackers would call up a target company's information technology helpdesk posing as an employee, and seek login details by pretending to have lost theirs. They had all the employee information needed to sound convincing. And once they got access, they'd quickly find their way into the company's most sensitive repositories to steal that data for extortion.

The first use of a novel method of analyzing Mars' gravitational force supports the idea that the planet once had an extensive northern ocean. In doing so, the method defines the scope of what scientists refer to as the northern Martian paleo-ocean in more detail. The work was published in July in the journal Icarus , which is affiliated with the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences. The research was led by Jaroslav Klokočník, professor emeritus at the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

It's no secret that women enjoy being pursued (by a guy they're already interested in, that is). Women enjoy having a man show interest in them, take the lead, and do all that is within his power to woo and impress her. It's nice to be sought after, right? But sometimes, the responsibility of making the first move falls on the woman. The guy she has exchanged little glances with all night still hasn't approached her, but she doesn't want to pass up this opportunity – so she takes it upon herself to be the one to initiate.
