HI Webrooters and Dermot,
I saw 60 minutes last night and the statistics are very scary and nothing can be done until our credit cards are updated to the times. I believe it's 97% plausible that Banks will get hacked and that the Hackers are selling the stolen credit cards on Amazon even.
Thanks for reporting this Dermot!:D

It could be that introduction of "chip&pin" over there may help (but only partially Chip and PIN: No panacea, but worth the effort – and the cost | CSO Online ), to plug the holes. But the hackers seemingly are always scoring 'goals', and organisations then scramble to shore things up.
A lot of 'wise-up' all round is badly needed. And they're expecting online, and mobile etc payments to increase rapidly also
Big challenges all round. :@

Glad to see him getting some more good publicity. His column is always excellent.
