One of the major cc processors got hacked.
 

damn,

shit we can expect a lot of chargebacks again... :(

looks like dialers never die:)

The question is, which one?

Get ready to lose a lot of recurring charges.

They will probably be cancelling a lot of cards and re-issuing them.

damn, this is disturbing

2.2 million credit cards

so far:

Citizens Bank, a financial institution serving the Northeast, shut down the accounts of 8,800 customers whose card numbers had been accessed after being notified by MasterCard on Friday, bank spokeswoman Pamela Crawley said. All of those accounts were safe, she said.

That sucks big time , must be the reason my card hasnt worked all day.

It' only 1/3 of a percent that was affected.

So if you have 10,000 recurring members you'll lose about 33, if they cancel all the cards that were breached. Hardly anything to cry over. :waaaaahh

Don't jump the gun.

Who said they were a major credit card processor?

And who said they process high-risk/adult?

chicken little chicken little!!!!

First off this article did NOT say third party processor. Second thing, it didn't say porn, adult, smut or anything that you KNOW they'd have wanted to play up if it were.

Y'all go on back to your business.

Way to repeat me. I guess you're just trying to hard to be cool like us Canadians :thumbsup

i can't wait for the first batch
of 2.2 million opt-in email list to be sold

Wow, I would have creamed my pants had I done that when I was in high school. I had to resort to 10 user shopping carts and e-mails that said "Warning: Your AOL account is about to be deactivated". Lucky I learned that it's easier to make money in porn than in scamming :glugglug

The main concern with this is that even though it was 0.3% of card holders, it was still 2.2 million online shoppers.

:glugglug LOL my thoughts exactly and ill be there to get a piece of that action!!

That changes if they are an adult third party processor. What percentage of cards do you think are used for online porn? Not many.

i love kimmykim

Why are the cc companies security so fucking lax? Thats the big question lol. Shouldnt that all be encrypted anyway?

This is the problem the encryption is all in transit but once it arrives to the database pretty much is there for anyone who knows how to get it

As of now none have been used tho.....

I WISH i had 10,000 members!:(

again quiet will pay the bill

They are referring to the 2 million cards that could be cancelled and reissued. If someone on those cards subscribed to your site they would have to sign back up.
