Verizon revises its deal with Yahoo (again)

The WSJ reports that Verizon will cut its $4.83 billion deal to buy Yahoo by as much as $350 million, and will evenly split the costs from Yahoo's two major data breaches. Verizon has also agreed to give up its right to sue over the idea that Yahoo covered up its hacks.

Even with the news that Verizon wants to lower the price by another $100 million, Yahoo is surely still breathing a sigh of relief that Verizon hasn't killed the deal entirely.

Why it matters: Malaria kills over 400,000 people a year, more than half of them children under the age of 5. Deaths have fallen in half over the past 20 years thanks to investment in prevention and drugs, but a truly effective malaria vaccine would represent one of the greatest victories in the history of public health.
