Tech Five: Sony threatens Twitter over hacked emails


The saga involving Sony and its massive data breach continues. Let's take a look at the technology stocks to watch Tuesday:

Sony. The electronics giant is threatening social network Twitter with legal action if it doesn't police users posting details from leaked emails. According to Re/code, Sony asked Twitter to suspend a specific account that tweeted screenshots of leaked emails, but the account remains active.

Twitter. Shares of the social network are up slightly following a busy Monday during which the company's stock closed with a 3% gain. SunTrust analyst Robert Peck predicted Twitter CEO Dick Costolo would be gone "within a year," causing shares to skyrocket.

Apple. Residents in Russia will be paying a lot more for an iPhone. Bloomberg reports Apple raised the prices of the iPhone 6 by 35%. The hike is meant to counter the continuing plunge of Russia's ruble.

Google. The company's Android One platform aimed at developing countries will launch in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, CNet reports. The platform first launched in India.

Comcast. The Federal Communications Commission pushed back a review of Comcast's acquisition of Time Warner, reports Re/code, to look over an additional 7,000 documents turned in by lawyers.
