@ jen:

Thanks very much for the kind words. A lot of companies offer good security services but don’t market them well or people just don’t care.

I hadn’t heard about that but did some searching around to learn more. Seems that they lost a number of credit cards that they were storing (though didn’t find if it was a hack or they were selling the information).

In either case, httpS doesn’t really protect you if your information is stolen at the endpoints of the transaction. That’s why Paypal or a one-time-use number are so effective.

Thanks for pointing that story this way Kim – another data breach to learn about 🙂
