Richi Jennings: Michaels finally confirms massive POS hack (Aaron Bros. as well)


Crafty hackers hack craft stores -- again.

Michaels Stores (NYSE:MIK) has finally confirmed the details of the
point-of-sale hack revealed in January. It's unclear what's taken them so long
-- the company claims the hack was "highly sophisticated," but everyone uses a
blah-blah phrase like that.

Your humble blogwatcher notes that the problem persisted for more than a month
after the news first broke. smh.

In IT Blogwatch, bloggers are aghast that, for the second time, the company's
POS was hacked -- lasting almost nine months.

INSIDER: Why security professionals need to get more creative with penetration testing (and how to do it)

Security professionals have long been running penetration tests against their
firewalls and other security systems to find weaknesses that need to be
addressed.

Preston Gralla: Microsoft tells small businesses and consumers who love XP: Get lost


If you're a big business, Microsoft is happy to provide you with XP security
patches at a reasonable cost. But if you're a consumer or own a small business,
it's another story: No patches for you, at any price.
