CBSN
President Biden is holding a cybersecurity summit with the chief executives of some of the U.S.' largest technology companies following a slew of hacking incidents in the past year.
Officials from Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and ADP will file into the White House on Wednesday, according to a senior Biden administration official. Representatives from the financial sector will also join the event, including JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America TIAA, and U.S. Bancorp. Microsoft was among the roughly 100 companies and nine government agencies impacted by the SolarWinds supply chain attack first discovered last year. Earlier this year, a cyber espionage attack on Microsoft's Exchange email server impacted hundreds of thousands of organizations worldwide, sending cybersecurity responders into a frenzy.
Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
