Credit Card Companies Bully Discovery, Mythbusters Into Axing Segment on RFID Vulnerabilities
Speaking to an audience at the recent HOPE hackercon event, Mythbusters’ Adam Savage describes a harrowing conference call in which most, if not all of the big name credit card companies bullied the Discovery Channel into axing a show involving RFID vulnerabilities. Adam noted that he got chills just thinking about it and claims that Tory still gets “white” when describing the conversation. I suppose anyone would feel a little intimidated (and probably pee their pants a little) when faced by the combined legal power of some of the most powerful businesses in the world.

Sears is filing a judgment on my home. I closed the account and paid them for a year and there was no difference in the balance. I asked them to reduce the rate and they said no. I no longer was able to pay them and the balance just got bigger. It is horrible that they can now file a judgment on my house.
