Quoted - on credit card breach

Everyone's buzzing about that huge credit card hack attack where upwards of 40 million client records were compromised. If you carry a VISA or MasterCard, you just grew a few more strands of gray hair.

Thanks to the crack team at Info-Tech, we've released a comment on this issue. The press release is entitled Credit Card Breach Exposes Limits of Current Privacy Legislation.

    Agreed Terry.

    Free to good home, one case of student debt. Guarenteed to cause a bigger headache than any of the ones incurred while creating said debt.

    No offer refused. lol

    Anyone who steals me CC numbers is going to be seriously, seriously disappointed...

    ...but this kind of carelessness really does tick me off.

    My credit card got hit a couple of years ago. I wonder if it had anything to do with this?

    No matter: the CC company caught it before they managed to do anything.

    Are prepaid credit cards (a la "Green Dot") then safer, I wonder, as far as compromised information goes? Those are not linked to any bank account, after all...
