In keeping with the NSA theme this year, Brian Krebs broke a story about a company that sells tracking software but, get this, they were hacked and now all of your tracking info is available for anyone to see! The software was designed to capture and upload key data points from home computers and mobile devices and the data is now available for some creative people to pilfer.

I think the worst part is that now the company has being outed, they started to claim that there was no breach and now they try to minimize the scale of the event. This event and others like it, should serve as a reminder to any individuals or businesses that ‘O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive’.
