        Imgur Hacked:

        https://www.itnews.com.au/news/hackers-stole-data-from-17m-imgur-users-478447

        The email addresses and scrambled passwords of 1.7 million accounts on popular image sharing site Imgur were stolen by attackers in 2014.
         
        The company today revealed it had been notified of the three-year old breach on November 23 when security expert Troy Hunt alerted Imgur after being sent the stolen data.

        Yep, confirmed here:

                  A British firm has released the first photos of its Fitbit-style condom that measures a man’s performance in bed.

                  The high-tech jimmy jacket — which looks like a small rubber bracelet — logs data during sex and sends it to the user’s smartphone, according to the creators of the i.Con Smart Condom, which released images of it Tuesday.

                  The reusable, one-size-fits-all band measures the number of calories burned during sex, the speed of a man’s thrusts and how long he lasts, lead engineer Adam Levers told the UK Metro.

                          Hopefully they can fix the security issues, but seems doubtful.

                              Even better would be either minimized or a background task that only shows up in a list of running applications. I doubt it'll take people long to do it, seems like it should be a well known thing to do for drivers and such.

                                  No surprise since they are an Android app platform now too.

                                    Yeah, I'd need to see some serious independent security reviews (not paid for by Google) before I'd even consider their shit in my house!
