Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Following the revelation that 56 million credit card transactions were stolen by miscreants, more information is coming out about the hack and the company's reportedly long-term lackadaisical security. According to employees familiar with the situation, the company was warned as early as 2008 that security would be a problem, and that the company was excruciatingly slow to respond to threats and often took no action agains perceived attacks or dangers.

An array of current and former Home Depot employees speaking to the New York Times on the condition of anonymity said that the company relied on outdated software for years to cut costs, and handled customer data poorly. One security source told the paper that he warned his friends to use cash, instead of credit cards, at the company's stores.

Two former employees also said that mandatory security scans of computers, as required by the credit card industry were either not performed, or performed haphazardly. According to the sources, "more than a dozen" vital computers that stored customer information, including transaction data, were not accessed, never scanned, and were off-limits to the security staff responsible for oversight.

Additionally, Home Depot hired Ricky Joe Mitchell to oversee Internet security in 2012. In 2014, Mitchell was sentenced to four years in prison for his role in a scheme at energy firm EnerVest Operating where he intentionally disabled computers while he was departing, shutting down data processing for a month. It is unknown if Mitchell had any role in the distribution of the malware, but much of the pre-collection malware penetration happened during his tenure.

The company has said that the malware was a custom-built package that evaded traditional detection. Those helping Home Depot research the attack say that it was a previously unknown strain of malware that had yet to be seen perform such an attack. Analyst Brian Krebs and Trend Micro had similar conclusions after the breach was confirmed.

Home Depot says that malware is eliminated, with the company going as far as removing any terminals that were identified as being affected by the penetration. The company continues to maintain that there is no evidence PIN numbers were compromised during the breach. Bank sources tell Brian Krebs that compromised cards were still being reported on September 7, five days after Home Depot stated it was looking into activity.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) September 21, 2014

Many people know what its like to be outside grilling, and that sun gets hotter and hotter, or those first drops of rain start to fall. Their minds race while they look for some type of shelter under which to finish cooking. Big umbrellas or gazebos would do the trick, but they take up a lot of space, and many yards havent the room for such things.

"In order to allow for convenient temporary shelter in yards, I conceived of my design," said an inventor from Hauppauge, N.Y.

The patent-pending FENCE INN allows for temporary shelter in a yard. It eliminates the need for a big umbrella or gazebo, which saves space. Overall, it promotes convenience, comfort and enjoyment. Easy to use and ideal for use while grilling, relaxing, sleeping, tending a lemonade stand, doing curb sales, etc., it's suitable for both homes and businesses.

The original design was submitted to the Long Island office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 13-LGI-1809, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Temporary Shelter Makes Yard Activities More Convenient - Designed by InventHelp Client (LGI-1809)

NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) What once was a field of grass is now a field of dreams.

The former empty space behind the Norfolk Veterans Home has been transformed into Heroes Park, where veterans and their families and friends can enjoy the outdoors.

The 8-acre park has received high marks from veterans and their families, said Jenny Last of Norfolk. She serves on the Heroes Park Foundation board, which raised the $2.8 million needed to construct park.

"I love to read those thank-you notes," she said "It means so much."

The effort began more than six years ago. It was sparked by Duane Hodge, former administrator of the home, who suggested it might be nice to have a memory garden.

The foundation board expanded on that idea to help fulfill the need for a larger space for events at the home. Up until recently, gatherings were held in the activity room, which can't accommodate many people.

Now those events can be held under the park's pavilion, where between 400 and 500 people can be seated in chairs, said Deb Becker, a veterans home employee who has worked with the project since it began.

The park and the pavilion were the site, for example, of the opening ceremonies for the Nebraska Vietnam Veterans reunion in August, which was attended by around 450 people.

The park also was used for the home's Fourth of July celebration, Becker said.

At that event, children played on the playground equipment, shot baskets on the basketball court and entertained themselves while waiting for the fireworks show to begin, she added.
