Two million credit cards breached at Buca di Beppo's parent company

I don't post about these anymore because it's so flamin' common and so little is being done to prevent it. Company is breached, credit monitoring is offered, most banks cover their customer losses, wait until the next company is breached.

I only post this because I've eaten there a few times and really like the place. I had my 50th birthday party there in Phoenix with family and friends, we had a really good time.

Anyway, it was a point of sale breach between May 23, 2018 and March 18, 2019 and according to a company press release, the hack was found in "67 Buca di Beppo locations in the United States; a handful out of the total 31 Earl of Sandwich locations; and Planet Hollywood locations in Las Vegas, New York City and Orlando. Also impacted were Tequila Taqueria in Las Vegas; Chicken Guy! in Disney Springs, Fla.; and Mixology in Los Angeles."

Some great sales at Humble Bundle: one for learning languages, two for programmers

The language bundle by Lonely Planet has another 3 days and 22 hours from this posting. The language learning itself is time-limited, I'm assuming from when you download or start the training. Languages include: French, Japanese, Mandarin, Italian, Spanish, Korean, and more. Also included are guide books, which I assume are downloadable and don't expire. The top tier is one year of access and is $25.

The web developers bundle by O'Reilly has only another 46 hours to run and the top tier is the typical $15. It has some new additions compared to the previous times it's been offered.

The coder's bookshelf by No Starch Press has just under nine days to run and one book at the $20 level. Unfortunately for me there's only one book at the $15 that I'm interested aside from one at the $1 level, so I'm dropping a buck on this and that's it.
