    The UK’s Ministry of Defence was hit with a data breach.

    The hackers obtained the names and banking information belonging to an unknown number of UK military personnel, according to reports from the BBC and Sky News.

    Members of Parliament will reportedly be made aware of the breach on Tuesday. Although the UK government has not revealed who’s behind the attack, Sky News has linked it to China.

    Lego isn’t just for playing.

    Nicolas Fremau, the hybrid architecture expert at Renault, used Lego to help build the prototype for the French car company’s E-Tech hybrid powertrain, as reported by Car and Driver:

    In 2010, to the dismay of his family, Renault hybrid expert Nicolas Fremau spent his holiday break assembling a small-scale transmission out of Lego Technic parts... just 18 months after Fremau finished his Lego concept, Renault started testing the first functioning full-size LocoDiscoBox prototype.

    This is the “LocoDiscoBox” prototype that eventually became the E-Tech system.
