The storm is barreling toward the East Coast, and is expected to make a direct hit later this week.
The exact location is unclear, although forecasters expect it to be a major Category 3 storm when it makes landfall.

British Airways hack caused by malware
We're learning more details about what caused the British Airways hack of 380,000 customers' data.
San Francisco-based cyber security company RiskIQ says the hack came from malware installed on the British Airways website.
RiskIQ says the malware was intentionally aligned with normal payment processing, so customers wouldn't notice anything unusual when making a purchase.
The hack was conducted by a large ongoing operation known as Magecart. It is the same operation behind the Ticketmaster website hack we told you about a few months ago.

The recall includes RIDGID NXT wet/dry vacuums, models HD06000 (6-gallon) and HD09000 (9-gallon).
Customers should stop using the device immediately, and contact Emerson for a free replacement powerhead assembly.
