withdrawn their claims, apparently due to an erroneous allegation against a
security vendor also named in the suit.

Darlene Storm: Untraceable $20 device can allow hacker to control a car 'from miles away'


A six-character password securing a Tesla Model S account was called a
potential security threat that might allow an attacker to unlock the doors, but

device that could allow an attacker to remotely take control of a car from
'miles away.'

INSIDER: Encrypting sensitive data is a must; new key management tools make it easy

Encryption is one of the best ways to prevent the type of terrible headaches
that many high-profile companies have experienced with stolen data. Even if
experienced hackers are able to penetrate a system, having the data encrypted
can mean that nothing useful is taken.
