Re: Bank Card Reissues May Be Linked to Wal-Mart Breach
Any old people here that read Readers Digest? There's a section about stupid criminals. One of the stories was a Wal-Mart employee used a customer's cc to make purchases. The employee got caught when he/she also entered her employee ID number to get the discount!!

Re: Bank Card Reissues May Be Linked to Wal-Mart Breach
Quote:Two different sets of data breach rules/punishments for large and small card merchants. Life is soooo unfair!!!! ...but it's true, a small merchant often has their ability to accept credit cards yanked by the card companies after a data breach of a few hundred card accounts, while a large merchant with a data breach of 1000s/100's of 1000's of cards doesn't suffer the same fate. Has anyone else noticed that the largest data breaches occur OFFline rather than online?

Re: Bank Card Reissues May Be Linked to Wal-Mart Breach
