Forza Motorsport 7 Loot Crates Removed In Latest Patch


A major patch is being rolled out for Forza Motorsport 7 which removes loot crates from the game. They will be replaced with mod cards that will be provided to players from now on. The cards will enable players to change the conditions of some races and who they earn additional points. Fixes for many bugs are included in this patch as well.

The crates were first added to the title earlier this year. They divided the player base and the developer has listened to the feedback from the majority of the players and decided to do away with the loot crates.

Turn 10 Studios confirmed in its latest Forza Motorsport 7 live stream that the patch removes loot crates and that players will now earn Mod Cards instead of prize crates. It also adds a Race Shop which will feature mods, driver gear, and badges. It will reset every six minutes so that players can see the new items often and will be customized to each player.

The patch also revises the game’s collision model and changes the way tyre friction and track energy dissipation are calculated. This means that players will now be less likely to spin out or lose control of the car in the event of an on-track collision. The update brings eight new cars as well that are free for all players.

steelseries-qck-refreshSteelSeries is no stranger when it comes to gaming peripherals, and their latest foray does not lie so much in high tech hardware but something that often goes unappreciated or unnoticed: the humble mousepad. No matter how sensitive a particular gaming mouse’s sensor is, it’s performance can be helped through the proper mousepad.

Expect the QcK Prism Cloth to retail for $39.99 and $59.99 for medium and XL sizes, respectively.

As for the QcK Edge, this particular model will rely on the similar cloth surface as the rest of the legendary QcK mousepads, although it will now boast of a stitched edge that ensures there is no fraying or peeling. The line sports the iconic minimalism SteelSeries mousepads design, and it has a high thread count and smooth surface that optimizes mouse tracking accuracy regardless of whether you are rocking to optical or laser sensors. On the underside lies a durable, non-slip rubber base, specially designed to prevent movement. Expect the QcK Edge to arrive in medium, large and XL sizes for $11.99, $14.99 and $23.99, respectively.

HSBC Accounts Accessed By Unauthorized Users In Security Incident


Global banking behemoth HSBC has confirmed a security incident this week which allowed unauthorized users to access online accounts. The company has confirmed the breach to authorities in California but has not disclosed how many of its customers were affected. Unauthorized users were able to access online accounts between October 4th, 2018 and October 14th, 2018.

HSBC has said that it suspended access to online accounts for all customers who were impacted by this breach. It also initiated procedures to change passwords for those accounts. HSBC said in its statement that it has also added an “extra layer” of security to accounts but didn’t explain further.

The company has not confirmed details that some of its customers might be interested in knowing. It hasn’t revealed the number of users affected by the breach and hasn’t said whether only customers in the United States were affected or if the breach targeted international customers as well.

The description of the breach that HSBC has provided makes it seem like a credential stuffing attack. This is when attackers use passwords and usernames that are leaked in other data breaches to try and access accounts. Since many users have the habit of using the same credentials for other online services, these attacks often bear fruit.

HSBC has confirmed that some of these attacks were indeed successful and that the attackers were able to access some customer details. It has offered to provide impacted customers with free credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
