It's not necessarily an adult CC processor, could be mainstream.

Yeah, but it would be interesting to know for sure.

What other industry gets hacked as much as we do, and processes as many credit cards online as we do?

I wouldn't be surprized if it was one of the major adult processors.

I heard on the news that American Express CC's were involved as well.

AA hasn't processed porn transactions in a long time...

None of the articles I saw mentioned American Express. It was all about Visa and Mastercard.

Also, what's an "adult" billing company? I know for a fact that iBill, CCBill, and WSB process for non-adult businesses. Are there any billers that don't? We may be a big part of their business, but we're not all of it.

I wonder if this is the effect of the homeland security act. The government can view the credit card transactions now and I wonder if they opened a security hole that brought the hackers in.
