Third-party breaches have become an epidemic as cybercriminals target the weakest link. Organizations such as BestBuy, Sears, Delta and even NYU Medical Center are just a few that have felt the impact of cyberattacks through third-party vendors. The fa… Continue reading Five Weakest Links in Cybersecurity That Target the Supply Chain
Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 17, built in 1956, was demolished on Thursday. Continue reading Watch NASA Blow Up a Piece of Spaceflight History
If you follow the desktop 3D printer market, it probably won’t surprise you to hear that nearly every 3D printer on display at the inaugural East Coast RepRap Festival (ERRF) was made in China. Even Printrbot CEO Brook Drumm had to admit that this was the year his company may finally bite the bullet and begin selling a branded and customized printer built overseas.
When you can get a decent (but let’s be clear, not great) 3D printer for $200 USD, it’s no surprise that American and European manufacturers are having a hard time staying competitive. But not everyone is …read more

Anyone who has ever wound a coil by hand has probably idly wondered “How do they do this with a machine?” at some point in the tedious process. That’s about when your attention wanders and the wire does what physics wants it to do, with the rat’s nest and cursing as a predictable result.
There’s got to be a better way, and [Russ Gries] is on his way to finding it with this proof-of-concept CNC flat coil winder. The video below is a brief overview of what came out of an intensive rapid prototyping session. [Russ] originally thought that moving …read more

A breach that exposed the credit card information of Delta Air Lines and Sears Holdings now expands its impact to include Best Buy and Kmart. Continue reading Impact Of Chat Service Breach Expands To Best Buy, Kmart
US-based Delta Air Lines and Sears Holdings, the owners of Sears and Kmart, have announced that the breach suffered by chatbot company [24]7.ai has resulted in the compromise of credit card information of its customers. According to a statement by [24]… Continue reading Delta and Sears suffer data breach, credit card information compromised
Security experts say breaches impacting Delta Air Lines and Sears customers is tied to malware planted on a third-party chat service. Continue reading Delta, Sears Breaches Blamed on Malware Attack Against a Third-Party Chat Service
If a third party leaks credit card numbers they were holding on your behalf… it’s still your neck on the block. Continue reading Sears Holdings, Delta and others leak credit cards in “multibreach”
Most CNC robots people see involve belts and rails, gantries, lead screws, linear bearings, and so forth. Those components need a rigid chassis to support them and to keep them from wobbling during fabrication and adding imperfections to the design. As a result, the scale is necessarily small — hobbyist bots max out at cabinet-sized, for the most part. Their rigid axes are often laid out at Cartesian right angles.
One of the exceptions to this common configuration is the delta robot. Deltas might be the flashiest of CNC robots, moving the end effector on three arms that move to …read more

Some people are better than others when it comes to documenting their hacks. Some people, like [Micah Elizabeth Scott], aka [scanlime], set the gold standard with their recordings. Hacking sessions with the Winch Bot have been streamed regularly throughout the build and this is going to lead to a stacking effect in her next projects because the Winch Bot was designed to record hacking sessions. Hacking video inception anyone? Her Winch Bot summary video is after the break.
The first part of this build, which she calls the Tuco Flyer, was [Micah Elizabeth Scott]’s camera gimbal hack which we already …read more
