					<description><![CDATA[<p>In 2000, <a href="https://www.schneier.com/books/secrets-and-lies/">I wrote</a>: “If McDonald’s offered three free Big Macs for a DNA sample, there would be lines around the block.”</p>
<p>Burger King in Brazil is <a href="https://gizmodo.com/burger-king-giving-discounts-if-facial-recognition-thin-1851124496">almost there</a>, offering discounts in exchange for a facial scan. From a marketing video:</p>
<blockquote><p>“At the end of the year, it’s Friday every day, and the hangover kicks in,” a vaguely robotic voice says as images of cheeseburgers glitch in and out over fake computer code. “BK presents Hangover Whopper, a technology that scans your hangover level and offers a discount on the ideal combo to help combat it.” The stunt runs until January 2nd...</p></blockquote>]]></description>

<blockquote><p>In an undated note seen by TechCrunch, the unnamed hackers described how they found and exploited several security vulnerabilities that allowed them to compromise WebDetetive’s servers and access its user databases. By exploiting other flaws in the spyware maker’s web dashboard—used by abusers to access the stolen phone data of their victims—the hackers said they enumerated and downloaded every dashboard record, including every customer’s email address.</p>
<p>The hackers said that dashboard access also allowed them to delete victim devices from the spyware network altogether, effectively severing the connection at the server level to prevent the device from uploading new data. “Which we definitely did.
