Leading today is the continuing saga on Krebs on Security about the skimmers in Mexico. It really is an interesting read and shows how easy it is to compromise ATMs. In another security story, arstechnica reports on a set of Cisco routers infected by a stealthy backdoor. Lastly, we have The Awl talking about ad blocking and the future of web publishing. It is an important story as ad blocking is becoming more prevalent, but publishers need that money to survive.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
