The hack was discovered by researchers at Drexel University, who used a variety of mod tools to pull credit card info from refurbished 360s. The tools they used are said to be common, making it relatively simple to secure sensitive information. What’s most shocking is that this can even be done on systems that have been reformatted to factory settings.

Halep’s match against Pavlyuchenkova was originally scheduled for Wednesday night but heavy rains forced organizers to postpone it until Thursday morning.
