Even thought this is a security issue I didn't want to post in the Security Industry News section it's kind of funny and I didn't want it scrolling along the top. :D

What is wrong my friend,  you don't want "crap" scrolling across the top?

 



 

 

 

OK.. Someone had to say it.  On a much more serious note though, it is a breachable technology.  While it is not a serious threat to your finances or to National Security, it is still something that needs to be kept in consideration.  Not all hacks and attacks are of that nature.

 

Ever heard of practical jokesters or bored teens?  Oh what fun they could have hacking these... it won't hurt your bank account or the government, but I certainly do not want to be on one of these when someone hacks into it.  UGH.
You got it!
