I'm getting this for IT

Sometimes we have to test analogue phone lines. The fact is we don't have any standard analogue telephone handsets to plug into these lines. Ideally, it would be a one piece phone that you plug directly into the jack. It would be self powered. And, the wire goes all the way to the handset without a cradle to set the phone on. That way testing can be done standing up and with one hand. Like a poorman's lineman's handset. After looking on Amazon at all the phones listed in the the telephone department, until i breached the $50 mark, I couldn't see any telephone like it. Then John said, "Hamburger Phone."

A search for "hamburger phone" sends you to a department that's not "Electronics" but reveals the perfect candidate equipment.

Flashmob of ATM crooks scores $9 million in 49 cities

A global flashmob of ATM thieves netted $9 million in fraud against ATMs in 49 cities around the world:

Here's how it all came down, according to information Fox obtained from the FBI and law enforcement sources:

The computer system for a company called RBS WorldPay was hacked. One service of the company is the ability for employers to pay employees with the money going directly to a card, called payroll cards, a lot like a debit card that can be used in any ATM. The hacker was able to infiltrate the supposedly secure system and steal the information necessary to duplicate or clone people's ATM cards.
