Credit card data stolen from Chili's restaurant at Yokosuka: Hackers breached a computer server at Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant at Yokosuka Naval Base, stealing credit card information and running up erroneous charges. Each Chili's restaurant in Japan, including those at military installations in Okinawa, Sasebo, and Yokota, has a server on site that stores and reports data to the chain's parent company in the States. So far, the thefts appear to be isolated to Yokosuka. Unfortunately, employees are among those who have had their card information stolen. |

Hackers hit Troy schools: Police and Troy school officials are investigating a widespread hacking of the school district's computer system. In a letter to parents, schools Superintendent Barbara Fowler said she told students and staff with accounts on the system to change their passwords so whoever's responsible can't access personal information. Secondary students had changed their passwords after the hacking was discovered. She said the school district did not store any personal information about students in the affected database except for user names and passwords. However, students and staff may have stored personal information that would be accessible to a thief who obtained the account-holder's user name and password. |

Eventbrite suffers possible security breach: Ticketing and event management company Eventbrite is dealing with a possible security breach following the theft of two iPads that contained personal information of some of its customers. The company was using the iPads as part of its new Eventbrite At The Door ticketing solution, which allows venues or events to collect payments and issue tickets using an iPad app. The company did not disclose what event used the iPads before they were stolen. The theft occurred on September 20 while an Eventbrite employee was headed back to the company's headquarters following the client's event. Potentially compromised data included full credit card information for 28 people who bought tickets for the event; names and email addresses for some customers who bought tickets online for the event; and the names, email addresses and last four digits of credit cards for some fans who bought tickets at the event. The full credit card information was erroneously stored due to a glitch in the iPad app that has since been fixed. |
