DNC hacker Guccifer 2.0 linked to Russian military intelligence: report
The hacker who took credit for providing WikiLeaks with hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee in 2016 has been linked to Russian military intelligence, according to a report by The Daily Beast late Thursday. The hacker, known as Guccifer 2.0, had claimed to be a Romanian "hacktivist," and hid his true location by using a VPN service. But the Daily Beast reported that cybersecurity experts traced one logon in which he apparently neglected to use VPN to a building in Moscow that is the headquarters of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence agency. That could have wide implications for special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone has admitted contacts with Guccifer 2.0 in 2016. Mueller has taken over the Guccifer 2.0 investigation from the FBI, the Daily Beast said.

Nike swings to loss, but sales beat expectations; shares rise
Shares of Nike Inc. rose more than 2% late Thursday after the company swung to a surprise loss in the fiscal third quarter thanks to the U.S. tax overhaul, but its sales beat Wall Street expectations. Nike said it lost $921 million, or 57 cents a share, in the quarter, versus earnings of $1.1 billion, or 68 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter. Revenue increased 7% to $9 billion, compared with $8.4 billion a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of 53 cents a share on sales of $8.8 billion. The tax overhaul resulted in one-time provisional charges that reduced earnings per share by $1.25, Nike said.
