Visa is also extending new requirements on non-printed credit card data that's captured by a POS terminal. As of last week I got notice that I could connect remotely to a customers machine to correct data but could NOT pull the data back to my computer to work on it. In talking to my contact, VISA is worried about viruses and worms and are taking the stand that the fewer physical machines the data appears on, the less likely it can be stolen.
It's my understanding (although I can't confirm it) that soon, all credit card data stored on any computer will have to be encrypted.
