The Bad Guys are Running Out of Places to Hide
The Hacker News reported today that it has been confirmed the FBI has access to the entire Tor Mail database. This is great news for the Cyber Security community, as it makes things even harder for online criminals to prey on easy victims.
Access to this database will allow the FBI to find all sorts of juicy incriminating data, such as drug deals, coordinated hacking, and even murders.
So for anyone out there who had incriminating evidence on Tor Mail, consider yourself on notice - the "Party Van" will be visiting your house soon.
Remember kiddies, the Internet is forever.

Target Data Breach Outlines Need for Application Whitelisting, Flaws in PCI-DSS
For those who didn't hear, there has been an arrest of two Mexican citizens in Texas who were using stolen credit card numbers to purchase goods - and that the case possibly leads back to the Target data compromise.
Quite honestly, with today's computer security suites, there is almost no excuse for a static configured system such as a Point of Sale terminal to ever be infected by a virus. With proper implementation of application whitelisting a system can be protected from even unknown malware.
However, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) only requires basic anti-virus coverage to protect against "known" malware, as well as a (network-based) firewall.
