Cashing in on ATM Malware – A Comprehensive Look at Various Attack Types
rather unnerving report from Trend Micro / Europol. ‘As things stand, it looks like different criminal groups have already graduated from physical to virtual skimming via malware, thanks to the lack of security measures implemented by commercial banks worldwide. This is common in Latin America and Eastern Europe, but these criminals are exporting the technique and have started to victimize other countries.’

In 1973, I invented a ‘girly drink’ called Baileys
The creation of the iconic booze:
‘We bought a small bottle of Jamesons Irish Whiskey and a tub of single cream and hurried back. It was a lovely May morning. 1973. Underdogs Sunderland had just won the FA Cup. We mixed the two ingredients in our kitchen, tasted the result and it was certainly intriguing, but in reality bloody awful. Undaunted, we threw in some sugar and it got better, but it still missed something. We went back to the store, searching the shelves for something else, found our salvation in Cadbury’s Powdered Drinking Chocolate and added it to our formula. Hugh and I were taken by surprise. It tasted really good. Not only this, but the cream seemed to have the effect of making the drink taste stronger, like full-strength spirit. It was extraordinary.’
