The PCI Data Security Standard: It's Everywhere Your Credit Card Data Wants to Be
Overview A major advertising campaign by Visa states that the card is accepted "Everywhere one wants to be." Unfortunately (and through no fault of Visa), a great deal of credit card data and other sensitive information has ended up in a lot of places that people would rather want it not to be. It seems that not a day goes by without reports of a high-profile credit card or credit data loss or compromise. The Washington Post has dubbed 2005 "The year of the data breach2." Unfortunately, these events are usually followed by calls in the press and government for additional data protection legislation.
