His real name is Marshall Mathers, but you probably know him as Eminem

This story was first published Oct. 10, 2010. It was updated on August 2, 2011. His real name is Marshall Mathers, but you probably know him as Eminem. He is the biggest selling artist of the past decade, earning 13 Grammies, one Oscar, and mountains of criticism for lyrics that are as profane as they are poetic. Whether you are a fan of rap or not, Eminem’s life story is an extraordinary tale of success, against all odds – a story he rarely talks about and one we first told you about last October. Back then, CNN’s Anderson Cooper met up with Eminem in his hometown Detroit in order to find out how a white kid who never made it past the ninth grade was able to propel himself to the top of a predominantly African American art form. 60 Minutes Overtime: Eminem & Anderson Cooper CNN’s Anderson Cooper shares all the unpredictable moments that happened on his “60 Minutes” shoot with Eminem. When Eminem stepped out of the shadows last summer in Detroit, in front of 40,000 people, it was a triumphant comeback for a super star who had all but disappeared. Now 38 and sober, after struggling with addiction for five years, he has the energy and intensity of a boxer, a fighter trying to win from the crowd one simple thing: “Respect,” he told Cooper. “You...

(CBS/AP) LONDON – Computer security firm Kaspersky says it has discovered a new batch of malicious software linked to the infrastructure-wrecking Stuxnet virus

(CBS/AP) LONDON – Computer security firm Kaspersky says it has discovered a new batch of malicious software linked to the infrastructure-wrecking Stuxnet virus. In a statement Thursday the Moscow-based company said it had found a virus dubbed “Gauss” which it said was aimed at stealing financial information from its mainly Middle Eastern victims.

Kaspersky’s statement said that all three viruses likely came from the same “factory” or “factories.” In a “60 Minutes” broadcast in March, correspondent Steve Kroft reported that Stuxnet was first detected and isolated by a tiny company in Belarus after one of its clients in Iran complained about a software glitch in June of 2010. Within a month, a copy of the computer bug was being analyzed within a tight knit community of computer security experts, and it appeared to be the first salvo in a new era of warfare. In June, a new virus called “Flame”, was unleashed. It was a massive, 놀이터 사이트 data-slurping cyberweapon circulating in the Middle East, and computers in Iran...
