If you shopped in STAPLES - Keep an eye on your credit card activity



Target is old news - STAPLES is the latest - 1.2Million Credit Card information lost



From the Article

“At 113 stores, the malware may have allowed access to this data for purchases made from August 10, 2014 through September 16, 2014,” 


While the Staples breach is dwarfed in the number of lost records by Home Depot and Target, the common link is poorly secured point-of-sale systems and effective malware targeting those platforms and stealing payment card data before it is encrypted.

(Someone can) Unlock your car remotely - Demonstrated in Singapore - Tesla Car


Like I always said, Even security companies produce/sell Trash so, how can we expect car companies to care about security

Luckily , it cannot be drive after the hack, but we could lose a few valuables left in the car

According to the article:- 

 Hackers could remotely unlock the car via a command transmitted over the internet. This is done by hacking the password that Tesla owners use to setup their account which can also be used to unlock the car.

 In fact Dhanjani stated that the hacking of the password is not dissimilar to how hackers hack passwords on regular computers via malware and so on. “It’s a big issue where a $100,000 car should be relying on a six-character static password.”
