Go skiing, loose your PII: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9074339&intsrc=hm_list Credit card information stolen as cards were swiped. Maybe it is time to revisit credit cards with a built in smart card chip? In this instance, 46,000 cards were exposed from the Okemo Mountain Resort ski area in Vermont

PCI compliant, what does that mean?

Does compliance by an organization to PCI mean that credit card information is safe? According to a news article by informationweek: http://www.informationweek.com/security/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=206904986, this might not be the case as Hannaford Bros, lost 4.2 million credit and debit card numbers, while stating on their website that they are compliant to the industry PCI standard.
