Below please find a roundup of business and technology news from the past week.

• The Washington Post discusses a recently-released inspector general’s report concerning malware in the U.S. Geological Survey’s network.

• NBC News also reports that Facebook’s stocks seem to be stabilizing after a tumultuous few months, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg reports in a press release that the social media network now boasts over 2 billion monthly active users. These results, CNN points out, may be lower than analysts expected.
