News feeds are starting to report yet another credit card processor breach. Mastercard and Visa are saying that perhaps 10 million cards have been compromised. Reading between the lines of the reports, it sounds like this may primarily involve cards used at merchant terminals.
Starting sometime last fall I've become really reluctant to use my credit card(s). Security breaches are simply happening too often! Plus, having my number stolen when I had only used a card 4 or 5 times has really made me distrustful of web merchants.
Has anyone else here changed their behavior? What will be the longer term impact on merchants like teamestrogen?
