Overview Credit card theft is costing the U.S. economy an estimated $500 million a year (Department of Homeland Security) and the cost to the economy has increased at 21% annually over the last two years (January 005 Study, Consumer Sentinel). In an effort to curb the sharp rise and strikingly large impact of credit card theft, the top five payment card brands - American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International - have formed the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards council. This council has defined security guidelines in the form of the PCI Data Security Standard or the PCI DSS that applies globally to all merchants and service providers that store, process and transmit credit card data.
