EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

Lockheed Martin, the largest supplier to the Pentagon, has been hacked in an attack using faked authentication keys from security vendor, RSA.

The attack appears to be the first publicly reported fallout from a data breach of RSA systems last month - an event that threatens to compromise the security of a swathe of corporate systems the world over.

Also today, Liz Tay looks at the future of EFTPOS as its rivals launch contactless payment services based on Near Field Communications.
