Citing a source familiar with the filing, the publication said that Box hopes to price the offering as early as April, with Morgan Stanley serving as lead underwriter. The news follows December's funding round, which reportedly valued the company at around $2 billion. Backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Emergence Capital Partners, General Atlantic, Meritech Capital Partners, NEA, Scale Venture Partners and U.S. Venture Partners. https://www.box.com/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2014/01/30/box-files-for-ipo/ _____________________________________________ o Sunnyvale-Based Yahoo Says Some Mail Accounts Hacked Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Yahoo said that an unspecified number of its email account holders were the victims of a recent security attack, which the Sunnyvale-based company said most likely result from the theft of usernames and passwords from a third-party database. "Our ongoing investigation shows that malicious computer software used the list of usernames and passwords to access Yahoo Mail accounts," wrote Jay Rossiter, Yahoo's senior vice president of platforms and personalization products, on the company's website. "The information sought in the attack seems to be names and email addresses from the affected accounts’ most recent sent emails." The company said it will reset the passwords of impacted accounts, and is warning users to avoid using the same password on multiple sites. http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/75083532312/important-security-update-for-yahoo-mail-users _____________________________________________ o Menlo Park-Based Bessemer Leads $16.5 Million Round for CloudLock Menlo Park, Calif. -- Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), the Menlo Park-based venture capital firm, has led a new $16.5 million round of funding in CloudLock, a Massachusetts-based developer of cloud data security technology.

The company priced its nearly 5.8 million shares at $21 each. By late afternoon, they were trading for roughly $44 on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "RARE."

The news comes some six weeks after Violin, a developer of persistent memory-based storage systems, fired Basile as CEO, saying a change was necessary to "enhance the management team's operational focus and ability to execute the company's plans for profitable growth." Basile came under fire after the company lost about 70% of its value following its September initial public offering (IPO). Violin has not announced Basile's replacement on the board. http://www.violin-memory.com http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/donald-g-basile-resigns-as-member-of-the-board-of-directors-of-violin-memory-inc-242916291.html _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Digital Entertainment World Digital Entertainment World (DEW) is the best place to connect with content creators and owners, enabling technology providers, digital distributors and device manufacturers to create the infrastructure and technology partnerships necessary to monetize digital content.
