Anatomy of a Subway Hack Now Online: MBTA Makes MIT Guide Famous
My local transit agency, the MBTA, gained a restraining order to keep a group of MIT students from presenting their discovery of just how easy it is to forge credits on the subway’s fare cards.
But since the MBTA filed the students’ paper as part of their complaint, the full text of what they sought to keep secret became public record. Now it’s available online, and yes, it shows lax MBTA security.
The students had notified the MBTA of their findings, made recommendations of how to fix the problem, and proposed to keep elements of their discovery secret so as not to encourage unlawful actions. But rather than commend the students, the agency sought a restraining order to prevent them from sharing their findings.
The future of digital experiences will be built by strategists who grasp the full array of emerging business, social, and technical models. Specialties in user experience, branding, application design, and data science are laying the foundation for richer user experiences and business models breakthrough products and revenue based marketing.

Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
