This is the ’18 Ford Mustang GT Coupe, caught for the first time running with active quad exhaust. The Mustang GT convertible has previously been seen wearing this option, but with more of a muled-up exhaust setup. This GT coupe, though, appears to conceal the full-on production-intent look.

The Mustang will get some minor changes for 2018 to keep it fresh after its comprehensive redo in 2015. The styling should be tweaked and new special editions and trim packages offered, such as the Mach 1.

More significant changes are expected under the skin, with a new 10-speed automatic finding its way into the Mustang, along with likely changes to improve power and economy. It’s unclear if the naturally aspirated V6 will continue.

Expect to see the ’18 Mustang early next year.

While hackers regularly make digital corpses of computer systems run by global giants and mom-and-pops alike, the hard fact is that few businesses have a plan in place to handle a cyber break-in.

If you sell products into California, chances are you have already heard about the state law known as Proposition 65 (Prop. 65), which gives consumers and their attorneys the ability to sue businesses that do not include warning labels on products containing certain chemicals. Prop. 65 was approved by voters in 1986 to enable Californians to be aware of the presence of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To achieve this goal, Prop. 65 allows consumers to sue companies that sell products in California that expose consumers to certain chemicals without carrying an acceptable warning.
