[Year 12 IT Apps] Data security

[Mark]

Found in my travels. This is from 2014, which makes the story even more
chilling in 2015.



*Banks everywhere are in a race against time to upgrade their ATMs before
they become hot targets for hackers.An estimated 95% of American bank ATMs
run on Windows XP, and Microsoft is killing off tech support for that
operating system on April 8 [2014]. That means Microsoft (MSFT) will no
longer issue security updates to patch holes in Windows XP, leaving those
ATMs exposed to new kinds of cyberattacks.*
