FFS this is a joke !!!!!

Yeah it's been all over the news since last night.
How they have stored card details is a joke, I mean to be PCI Compliant you can't be emailed the whole card number it has to be split up and IIRC the same applies to storing them. Atleast part of the details have to be encrypted too.
I expect them to be taken to court over it.

Keep an eye on your accounts.

They would have to encrypt the details by law so i don't think you need to worry about money going out. Unless the hackers know the encryption algaritham (sp?). If they do then close your account lol

Personal data is another matter, looks like they can get access to this but to be honest its nothing special. Go to 192.com and sign up and you can find anyone anywhere lol

I think people are blowing it up a little bit because its a big name but i don't think we have to worry. Lol i say that and watch them clean my account out! lol

The only way to protect everyone from this is stop the companies storing the credit card data. Simple to me, i wouldn't mind having to enter the card details everytime if i meant there was no chance of this happening
