There has been an unexpected boom in values of modern-classic supercars with collectors pumping huge amounts into securing exotic models.

Last week, hackers launched a cyberattack on an Iowa company called Intoxalock that left some drivers unable to start their court-mandated breathalyzer-equipped cars. Wired reports: Intoxalock, an automotive breathalyzer maker that says it's used daily by 150,000 drivers across the U.S., last week reported that it had been the target of a cyberattack, resulting in its "systems currently experiencing downtime," according to an announcement posted to its website. Meanwhile, drivers that use the breathalyzers have reported being stranded due to the devices' inability to connect to the company's services. "Our vehicles are giant paperweights right now through no fault of ours," one wrote on Reddit. "I'm being held accountable at work and feel completely helpless." The lockouts appear to be the result of Intoxalock's breathalyzers needing periodic calibrations that require a connection to the company's servers. Drivers who are due for a calibration and can't perform one due to the company's downtime have been stuck, though the company now states on its website that it's offering 10-day extensions on those calibrations due to its cybersecurity disruption, as well as towing services in some cases. In the meantime, Intoxalock hasn't explained what sort of cyberattack it's facing or whether hackers have obtained any of the company's user data.

Hannah, 26, was left in a coma for eight days

Mohammad ⁠Bagher Ghalibaf, 64, has been in his high-level role since 2020.

Today, it's not exactly the code that was bad. For some time, a government agency had been collecting information from users using fillable PDF forms. The user would submit the form, and then a data entry clerk would copy the text from the form into a database. This, of course, raised the question: why was someone manually riding the copy/paste button?

Sally was tasked with automating this. The data is already in a digital format, so it should be easy to use a PDF library to parse out the entered data and insert it into the database. And it almost was.

Sally shares with us, not code, but the output of her program which scanned the fields, looking for their names:

FieldType: Text FieldName: T5ZA1 FieldNameAlt: T5ZA1 FieldFlags: 25165824 FieldJustification: Left FieldMaxLength: 3 --- FieldType: Text FieldName: T5ZA2 FieldNameAlt: T5ZA2 FieldFlags: 25165824 FieldJustification: Left FieldMaxLength: 2 --- FieldType: Text FieldName: T5ZA3 FieldNameAlt: T5ZA3 FieldFlags: 25165824 FieldJustification: Left FieldMaxLength: 4

I could go on, Sally certainly shared many more examples, but you can get the gist. The names were all cryptic five character blobs. They all start with T5Z, and followed by "letternumber": A3, B9, C2, etc. It has the vibe of being autogenerated; someone just never considered that they might want clear names for the fields, and just let their editor autonumber them, but that has one counterpoint to it: the letter "O" is never used. T5ZN9 is followed by T5ZP1.

Sally was left scratching her head. Of course, she was going to have to write some sort of lookup that would convert the PDF's field names into database field names, but she expected that the PDF would provide at least some sort of guidance on that front.

I really enjoy that the alt-text for every field is also the field name, which is a clear accessibility "win".
