None of them connect this incident with their years of hectoring about the pretend dangers of second hand smoke and the nonsensical insistence that smokers leave their own homes to smoke. None of them wonder why an elderly man might be smoking in his parked car just outside his home. These are the very dregs of humanity, the most vile and disgusting creatures on the planet, and they think they have the moral high ground because they don't smoke. Just how low can ASH and its drones go? The man burned to death within sight of his own home and their glee at making a political statement out of it is almost tangible. Again they come back with the same noises, still doing their best to take advantage of a man's appalling death. Naturally, the drones come back with protests about being red-arrowed for saying that smoking while driving is dangerous and again they are told that he wasn't driving. He was sitting in his car, in a car park, outside his home. Several commenters have pointed out that, according to the article, he wasn't driving. The comment drones are all present and correct and declaring that 'smoking while driving must be banned'. Bucko has already covered that aspect of it and he is right - any car accident that can be even tenuously linked to smoking or to a smoker, whether they were smoking at the time or not, will be 'smoking-related' in future. The ban will go hand in hand with the ban on smoking in cars because of a single incident. I mean, it's not as if you'd let cavemen have it so you're not going to let modern adults have it, are you? I fully expect a ban on Zippo lighters soon because obviously we can't be trusted with fire. If it's just been filled (or worse, overfilled) you could soon have quite a little conflagration going. If you drop one of those gas lighters, the flame goes out as soon as you let go of the button. The only way to put it out is to close the lid. Unlike the gas lighters, you don't need to hold down a button to keep the Zippo alight. It can be done without setting fire to yourself, but you do need to be familiar with the Zippo. The Zippo isn't safe to use tilted so the pipe is almost on its side for lighting. On the other hand, it provides tips on keeping safe from malicious activity and recommends reviewing the bank account statements for irregular transactions.I have used my Zippo to light my pipe. Unlike in the case of other data breach incidents, My Freedom Smokes does not offer complimentary subscription to an identity protection service this step is not mandatory, though. However, it is unclear if the illegal activity was due to the compromise of this retailer or a different one. Some of the My Freedom Smokes customers have reported fraudulent charges on their payment cards during the breach period. The company informs that the payment card numbers it stores are only partial and that CVVs are not saved on its infrastructure. As part of this process, My Freedom Smokes changed the method for taking online orders, although it had already relied on encrypted communication with the clients and the card processor gateway machine was encrypted during the breach period.Īccording to a notification from the company, the financial information that may have been grabbed by the attacker includes names, physical addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, credit card numbers, expiration dates and the card verification value (CVV) code.īasically, all the data needed for placing an order on the website (or on any other online store) during the aforementioned period may have been exposed. The security improvement efforts were assisted by a specialized company. Once the unauthorized code was discovered, the admins proceeded to removing it and strengthening the security measures on the website for increased protection of the data stored. The nefarious, encrypted strings were discovered on March 16, 2015, but following an investigation into the incident the administrators determined that the initial date of the breach may go as far back as February 11. Malicious code planted on the website of My Freedom Smokes, retailer of electronic cigarettes and accessories, may have been used to access information required to customers when placing an online order.
