    속보[속보] WSJ “존슨앤드존슨, 코로나19 백신 다음주 임상 시작”
    [속보] WSJ “존슨앤드존슨, 코로나19 백신 다음주 임상 시작” 미국의 다국적 기업 존슨앤드존슨이 신종 코로나바이러스 감염증(코로나19)에 대한 첫 임상 시험을 내주에 개시할 계획이라고 16일(현지시간) 밝혔다.월스트리트저널(WSJ) 보도에 따르면 존슨앤드존슨은 이날 화상 전화로 2분기 실적 발표를 하면서 코로나19 백신 개발 상황을 전했다.존슨앤드존슨은 우선 이달 22일부터 벨기에에서 1천명 이상의 성인을 상대로 한 임상시험 절차에 착수하고 그 다음 주에는 미국에서도 이를 진행해 개발 중인 백신의 안전성과 면역반응 유도 능력을 평가할 계획이다.이어 3상 임상시험은 빠르면 10월 하순에 진행할 계획으로 현재 미국 국립보건원(NIH)과 논의 중이라고 이 회사는 덧붙였다.존슨앤드존슨은 개발 중인 백신이 안전하게 코로나19를 예방할 수 있을지는 올해 말쯤이면 알 수 있을 것이라며 임상시험이 성공하면 내년 초반에는 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대했다.그러면서 이 경우 내년 말까지 백신 10억회분을 제조할 계획이라고 덧붙였다.앞서 미국 제약사 모더나는 초기 임상 시험에서 실험 대상자 전원이 항체 형성에 성공했다며 오는 27일부터 백신 개발 마지막 단계인 3상 임상시험에 들어갈 예정이라고 밝혔다. 또 옥스퍼드대학과 아스트라제네카가 공동 개발 중인 백신도 주목받고 있다.세계보건기구(WHO)에 따르면 현재 전 세계에서 160여종의 코로나19 백신 개발이 진행 중이며 20여개는 임상 시험 단계다.한편 존슨앤드존슨이 이날 발표한 2분기 매출은 183억달러로(약 22조원), 작년 동기보다 10.8% 줄었지만, 월가의 평균 예상치(176억달러)는 상회했다.사업 부문별로는 코로나19 여파로 불요불급한 수술 등이 감소한 영향으로 의료 장비의 매출이 33.9%나 줄었다.존슨앤드존슨의 2분기 이익은 36억달러로 35.3% 감소했다.

  • [단독외신] Netflix names Ted Sarandos co-CEO as stock tanks on slowing growth
    [단독외신] Netflix names Ted Sarandos co-CEO as stock tanks on slowing growth Enlarge Image Ted SarandosJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Netflix said it tapped its longtime content chief Ted Sarandos to run the streaming giant alongside its founder Reed Hastings — just in time to deal with fears that growth will slow. Hastings said the promotion of the 20-year Netflix veteran — known for pushing the company to produce its own shows — won’t affect the company’s day-to-day operations. “Ted has been my partner for decades,” Hastings said in a statement. “This change makes formal what was already informal — that Ted and I share the leadership of Netflix.” Sarandos will also join the board of directors. The entertainment giant behind “Stranger Things” and “Tiger King” made the announcement as it reported strong second-quarter subscriber growth on Thursday, while warning of decelerating growth in the coming quarter. Shares of Netflix fell 10.3 percent, or $54.32, to $473 a share in after-hours trading. Netflix cautioned that it anticipates adding just 2.5 million paid subscribers in the third quarter — well short of analysts’ estimates for 5.4 million. Hastings said that he expects fewer subscribers in the second half of 2020 because the company saw such a “significant” uptick in subs in the first half of the year, driven by widespread stay-at-home orders to curb the spread of the coronavirus. For the second quarter, Netflix said it added 10 million subscribers — beating Wall Street’s expectations and bringing its global subscriber base to nearly 183 million. That follows a record-breaking first quarter that saw the company add nearly 16 million subscribers thanks to widespread coronavirus lockdowns. Despite the coronavirus pandemic crimping Hollywood production, Netflix has managed to roll out a steady stream of news shows to its customers since April, including Ryan Murphy’s latest series, “Hollywood”; as well as new seasons of “Dead to Me,” starring Christina Applegate and high-school drama “13 Reasons Why,” as well as films like Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods.” That helped the Los Gatos, Calif.-based company reel in a profit of $720million, or $1.59 cents a share, during the quarter ended in June, compared to $270.7 million, or 60 cents a share, reported this time last year. Revenue grew to $6.15 billion from $4.92 billion a year ago.

  • [단독외신] Instagram is reportedly rolling out a TikTok copycat
    [단독외신] Instagram is reportedly rolling out a TikTok copycat Enlarge Image SOPA Images/LightRocket via Gett Facebook’s Instagram app will reportedly launch a new service in the coming weeks that copies the wildly popular features of the controversial TikTok app. Instagram Reels — which, like TikTok, allows users to make 15-second video clips set to music — will make its global debut soon as TikTok faces growing scrutiny over its Chinese ownership from governments worldwide, NBC News reported. The new Instagram feature, which also enables users’ videos to go viral on a “Top Reels” feed in the app’s Explore section, is currently available in France, Germany, Brazil and India. The global launch will arrive just weeks after Instagram parent company Facebook killed Lasso, its own TikTok clone. Instagram has found great success copying the features of Facebook’s rivals, including cribbing stories and face filters from Snapchat. TikTok has been on the defensive in recent weeks as accusations that the data it collects could be shared with the Chinese government have grown. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier this month that the US is “certainly looking” at banning TikTok and other Chinese social media apps due to security concerns. “I don’t want to get out in front of [President Trump], but it’s something we’re looking at,” Pompeo said. “We are taking this very seriously.” US lawmakers have voiced national security concerns over the short-form video app’s handling of user data, saying they were worried about Chinese laws requiring domestic companies “to support and cooperate with intelligence work controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.” –– ADVERTISEMENT –– Shares of Facebook were down 0.8 percent Thursday morning in pre-market trading, at $238.25.

  • [단독외신] FBI reportedly probing massive Twitter hack, bitcoin scam
    [단독외신] FBI reportedly probing massive Twitter hack, bitcoin scam Enlarge Image Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Hindustan Times via Getty Images The FBI is reportedly investigating a major Twitter hack and bitcoin scam that compromised the accounts of big business and political figures including Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Barack Obama. The bureau is looking into the hack — which was reportedly carried out with the help of a Twitter insider — to see whether vulnerabilities in the social network’s systems could pose a greater national security threat, according to the Wall Street Journal. The scammers took over prominent Twitter accounts on Wednesday to push a bitcoin scam that promised followers of the accounts would have their money doubled if they transferred funds to a linked bitcoin wallet. “Feeling greatful, doubling all payments sent to my BTC address!,” read a since-deleted tweet on Musk’s account, which misspelled the word grateful. “You send $1,000, I send back $2,000! Only doing this for the next 30 minutes.” Cybersecurity company Unit 221b and blockchain analysis company Chainalysis Inc. both told the paper they had been contacted by law enforcement about the matter. Representatives for Twitter and the FBI did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. A spokesperson told the Journal that the bureau is “aware of the hack” but did not comment further. The hackers reportedly paid an employee for helpattacking Twitter, though the terms of their purported deal are unclear. “We used a rep that literally done all the work for us,” another hacker told the tech site Motherboard. The accounts were taken over with an internal Twitter tool that shows various details about the identity and status of user accounts, such as whether the email address has been confirmed and whether the account has been suspended, according to screenshots Motherboard published. San Francisco-based Twitter said it has moved to limit access to its internal systems and tools while it investigates the incident, which it called “a coordinated social engineering attack.” “We’re looking into what other malicious activity they may have conducted or information they may have accessed,” Twitter said in a series of tweets.
