Researchers Hack Brainwaves to Reveal PINs, Other Personal Data | Threat Level. Don’t you dare even think about your banking account password when you slap on those fancy new brainwave headsets. Or at least that seems to be the lesson of a new study which found that sensitive personal information, such as PIN numbers and credit card data, can be gleaned from the brainwave data of users wearing popular consumer-grade EEG headsets.
A team of security researchers from Oxford, UC Berkeley, and the University of Geneva say that they were able to deduce digits of PIN numbers, birth months, areas of residence and other personal information by presenting 30 headset-wearing subjects with images of ATM machines, debit cards, maps, people, and random numbers in a series of experiments. The paper, titled “On the Feasibility of Side-Channel Attacks with Brain Computer Interfaces,” represents the first major attempt to uncover potential security risks in the use of the headsets.

No Plastic Sleeves. Self-Promo Likes (and Pet Peeves)… From the People You’re Sending Them To (Part 1 of 3) | Jasmine DeFoore | Photo Editor & Marketing Consultant.

As you hopefully know, most of the print promos they receive go straight into the recycling bin (and most e-promos aren't opened). What makes a promo stand out enough to get pinned up on the wall of chosen ones? What promos get forwarded to the other creatives? And why should this drive you nuts? Over the next three days I'll be posting creatives' thoughts.
