Shares of Palo Alto Networks dropped more than 12 percent Friday after the cybersecurity firm predicted lower-than-expected earnings in the fiscal fourth quarter.
The California-based company reported third-quarter earnings of 42 cents per share on sales of $346 million, above the 42 cents per share on $340 million expected by a Thomson Reuters consensus estimate. The revenue beat was due in part to particular strength in subscription services, Chief Financial Officer Steffan Tomlinson said.
Despite topping estimates and outpacing the industry in the latest quarter, Palo Alto Networks now expects upcoming quarterly earnings of 48 cents to 50 cents per share on $386 million to $390 million in revenue. Wall Street was expecting the upper end of that range: 50 cents per share in earnings on $389 million in sales.

House panel asks NY Fed for security briefing
CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports the House panel has asked the New York Fed for documents and a briefing on cyber heists.
A congressional committee has launched an investigation into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s handling of the heist of more than $80 million from accounts it maintains for the central bank of Bangladesh, CNBC has learned.
In a letter to New York Fed President William Dudley on Tuesday, House Science Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, asked for “all documents and communications” related to the cyberheist from the Bank of Bangladesh account. The committee also wants to know what oversight the Fed has conducted of the SWIFT system, an international electronic messaging system used by banks worldwide to authorize billions of dollars a day in money transfers.

Cell phone secrets
CNBC’s Andrea Day reports on one firm’s ability to extract personal information from a user’s smartphone, even after it’s been deleted.
You may not realize it, but your smartphone contains a wealth of information. Everything from texts and e-mails to where you go, plus health and sleep information.
That includes data you’ve deleted.
“Even though you’ve deleted the content, it’s actually still there, and the file system still can see it,” said James Aquilina, a former federal prosecutor.
That data has become a source of debate as law enforcement fights devicemakers like Apple for access for the purpose of criminal investigations.
No matter where you stand on privacy issues, law enforcement has many tools to recover deleted information.

Snapchat could have something to do with Facebook slowdown
Facebook’s user engagement growth could slow down because of Snapchat and other fast-growing networks.
Americans will spend more than half of their social networking time on Facebook this year, but growth of user engagement with the platform is set to slow, a new report shows.
Of the 43 minutes a day U.S. adults spend on social media in 2016, 22 minutes will be spent on Facebook, according to eMarketer.
But by 2018, while U.S. adults will spend three more minutes a day on social networks, they will only give an extra minute of their time to Facebook.
Between 2013 and 2018, time spent on social networks as a whole will grow 5.9 percent, while time spent with Facebook will grow 5.3 percent

10-year-old earns $10K reward for finding Instagram flaw
A 10-year-old hacker from Finland found a security flaw in Facebook’s photo-sharing app.
A 10-year-old hacker from Finland won $10,000 from Facebook after alerting the tech giant to a security flaw in its photo-sharing service, Instagram.
The boy, who lives in Helsinki and was identified only as Jani, found he could delete other people’s comments from Instagram using malicious code, according to Finnish newspaper, Iltalehti.
He alerted the service to this flaw and was paid $10,000 as a reward. Instagram said the vulnerability had been fixed.
“I would have been able to eliminate anyone, even Justin Bieber comments from there,” Jani said, according to a Google translation of the Iltalehti article.
Facebook operates a “bug bounty” program that rewards those who report vulnerabilities in its services, including Instagram.
Facebook has rewarded more than $4.3 million to more than 800 people under the program since it launched in 2011.
Jani plans to spend his money on a new bicycle and a football. According to Facebook’s own rules, he is too young to have an Instagram account, for which the recommended minimum age is 13.
