The FDA is weighing a possible rule change that would make birth control pills available without a prescription from a doctor for the very first time. This comes as manufacturer HRA Pharma seeks approval for its over the counter drug Opill.

The agency is expected to make a decision by this summer.
BAD CYBER HABITS

It also found that 62 percent of employees who had been exposed used the same passwords after getting hacked. Finally, the report found that telecommunications companies such as AT&T and Verizon were uniquely vulnerable to hacking, data breaches, and leaked passwords.
