+          <h3>10-9-2014: PayPal accounts hacked with a click</h3>
+          <p>Yasser Ali reports a now patched vulnerability in PayPal that would
+             have allowed him to reset other user's passwords and take over their
+             accounts. This is unlikely to be the last vulnerability found in
+             account-based payment systems.<br>
+             In Taler, customers do not have accounts with usernames, passwords
+             or associated e-mail addresses.  Instead, Taler uses reserves which
+             are represented by a private key on the owner's computer.  Users
+             create a reserve by depositing currency at a Taler exchange, and can then
+             withdraw digital coins from that reserve using the respective private
+             key.  There is no limit on the number of reserves a user can have, and
+             even hacking the Taler exchange would not provide an adversary with access to
+             user's reserves (as the Taler exchange does not have the private keys).
+             Stealing in Taler requires breaking into each customer's computer to
+             extract the reserve keys or the coins from the digital wallet.
+          </p>
