JTR--Interestingly, just yesterday I was looking to replace my "Master of the Code (CW Operator)" mouse pad, and Google found it at Cafe Press. Firefox took me there and warned me of a huge data breach. Then, this morning I received the dreaded "Data Security Incident" email.

Here in the New River Valley a company is experimenting with drone delivery of stuff from local businesses. With all these breaches, soon drones might be delivering things somebody else ordered.
