Hackers are exploiting a vulnerability in lots of e-commerce sites

Hackers have found their way into a large number of internet e-commerce sites.

This latest cybersecurity threat targets web stores running on the Magento or Adobe Commerce platforms, according to BleepingComputer, which cited the security firm Sansec as first publicizing the exploit. That was just over a week ago, and since Sansec exposed the vulnerability, known as PolyShell, the firm claimed that 56 percent of vulnerable stores have been experienced attacks.

You can check out Sansec's analysis for the full technical details of what's going on, but in the simplest terms possible, it seems hackers have managed to insert a credit card skimmer into the API for Magento, an open-source e-commerce platform acquired by Adobe several years ago. Sansec says it spotted the attack being used on an unnamed "major car manufacturer."

We have contacted Adobe for comment and will update this story if they respond.

Adobe has released a fix for this in the beta branch of its software, but that doesn't help the presumably vast majority of sites running the non-beta version of the software. Until the fix goes public, this will be an issue for any site running Magento or Adobe Commerce.

Your TV no longer has to look like a void black rectangle when you turn it off. Instead, you can turn it into a framed piece of art with the Hisense CanvasTV. The brand just launched a new size that's perfect for a bedroom, kitchen, or studio apartment.

Joining its 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch comrades, the new 50-inch Hisense CanvasTV is the smallest option available. It's also the cheapest, coming with a price tag of $1,299.99. When you're not streaming your favorite shows, the TV transforms into a piece of framed artwork. The Hisense CanvasTV comes with a magnetic teak frame, but you're able to easily change the frame's vibe by getting the walnut or white finish option separately.

A 65-inch or larger TV might be awesome for living rooms or family rec rooms, but you might want something smaller in a bedroom, kitchen, or if you live in an apartment. That's where the new 50-inch TV could be the best option. Plus, it's the least expensive size.

Hisense designed the CanvasTV to sit flush with your wall, like a painting or other framed artwork would. You get access to over 1,000 works of art to display on your TV when it's not in use with no need to sign up for an additional subscription. Of course, you can also use your own photos or artwork with either the USB port or by uploading them the Hisense Art Gallery App.

If you're in the market for a TV that doesn't scream "blank TV" when it's not in use, the Hisense CanvasTV is a great option and now it comes in a great 50-inch size.

SAVE 17%: As of April 6, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for $289.99, down from $349.99, at Amazon. That's a 17% discount or a $60 price cut.


If you prefer Android over iOS, Mashable's freelance tech reviewer, Adam Doud, says the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is "worth the upgrade" — and right now, you can grab it on sale.

As of April 6, you can snag the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 for $289.99 at Amazon, down from $349.99. That's a 17% discount or $60 savings.

When it comes to health metrics, the Galaxy Watch 8 can "track just about everything you do." It features a running coach, heart rate tracking, and an Advanced Sleep Coach that assigns you a "sleep animal" based on how you snooze (which is kind of fun, IMO). Plus, it's the very first smartwatch to run Google Gemini AI right on the watch face, and it features a unique "squircle" design (a round face on a rounded-square base) that sits thinner and flatter on your wrist.

"In theory, if you follow the advice of the watch without outright dismissing it, it can help you live a better life," writes Doud. "And you'll look good doing it."
