IBM: Almost 100 million health-care records were compromised last year, making them a hacker’s No. 1 target. Experts expect a similar increase in tax fraud this year, possibly rising to as much as $21 billion. The IRS has suspended processing of 4.8 million suspicious returns worth $11.8 billion this year.
