MYB: Hack attack exposes major security loophole with Amazon and Apple

(CNNMoney) - The recent hacking of Mat Honan was doubly shocking: he's a writer for tech Bible Wired, and hackers were able to crack his account with non-technical ease.

Here's the scariest part: Anyone with both an Amazon account and an Apple ID is potentially vulnerable to the same attack.

The two companies say they're working to close the security gaps exposed by Honan's hack, but they were tight-lipped on Tuesday about the details of what changes they're making.

Poppy Harlow explains Honan's situation on Early Start this morning and discusses the security concerns the incident has raised.

MYB: Apple stock near all-time high

(CNN Money)- Shares of Apple were up nearly 1.5% Monday to about $625. The stock has rebounded more than 8% since a 4% pummeling the day after it missed forecasts and guided lower. In fact, the stock is now just 3% below the all-time high of $644 it set back in April.

It appears that any lingering concerns about Apple's rare case of underperforming and underdelivering have been replaced by excitement about new products (iPhone 5 is rumored to be unveiled and go on sale next month) and the upcoming dividend payment to shareholders.

Alison Kosik discusses the company's success on Early Start this morning.

MYB: July jobs report preview

U.S. stock futures and European markets are up ahead of the July jobs report, set to be released by the Labor Department this morning at 8:30am ET.

Economists surveyed by CNN are predicting the economy added 95,000 jobs last month.

That's only a slight improvement over the 80,000 jobs added in June, and is not strong enough to keep up with population growth, let alone reduce the unemployment rate from its current 8.2%.

Christine Romans breaks down the predicted figures on Early Start this morning and explains how the numbers will influence the November election.
