Japanese researchers have created air-conditioned clothing to help companion animals cope with the extreme heat recorded this year. This unusual solution aims to reduce the suffering of animals caused by high temperatures. The creators developed garments that incorporate cooling technology to protect companion animals during periods of intense heat. This innovation comes in response to the extreme weather events that Japan has been facing.

Attention to expired bank cards: flaw may allow contactless purchases (without PIN) with your money

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst discovered a vulnerability, dubbed "Zombie Card," that allows expired Visa bank cards to be used for contactless payments. The flaw exploits the fact that expiration date information in Visa contactless systems is not as protected as other security data. Using two Android phones with NFC, the researchers managed to relay information between the expired card and the payment terminal, changing the expiration date to deceive the system. In tests, real purchases of $1, $100 and $500 were made. Other systems like Mastercard, American Express and Discover detected the manipulation. The researchers recommend properly destroying expired cards by disabling the chip and the contactless antenna, and continuing to monitor account transactions even after card replacement.
