7-Eleven in Japan suffers a hack, with over 900 clients losing $500,000. Using a software flaw which allowed the hackers to change the password reset email address. Modifying the payments code to send a password reset link sent to an email address which did not belong to the account owner. With what looks like little effort on behalf of the hacker.

Who needs advanced security tools, with these sort of basic software errors being propagated.
