Technology that we take for granted as being safe is not so.
Consider for example automatic teller machines. According to Barnaby Jack, director of security testing at Seattle-based IOActive, they are vulnerable to hackers because of their susceptibilities and programming errors. Hackers can even get in without a password or security pin.
Then we have this report from New Scientist telling us that private browsing sessions might not be that private after all. According to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, some sites have a a weakness in how they store data on PCs. That could allow digital snoops to discover what websites a person has been visiting, even when a private mode has been enabled. A banking site, for example, typically encrypts data that is passed from a PC to a site, and then a security key decrypts it. But the researchers warn that there are cases where hackers can actually find the security key to decrypt the information.
