It appears that  Capital One has announced a new program for helping 
non-profit organizations to raise funds (see picture). According to the 
plan, all rewards earned on these cards, including one percent of net 
purchases and an additional $25 with the first purchase, go directly to 
support the affiliated nonprofit organization. As a 501(c)(3), OSF is 
wondering if anyone might be interested in obtaining a DataLossDB Capital 
One card to make donating easier (and to help the economy!). We're also 
accepting other ideas for card designs, such as "CHECK ID" on the front 
(thanks, Sullo!). Please contact us if this idea interests you or if you 
have any suggestions.

Also, we would like to announce that BreachCenter.com is now online. 
Intersections Inc. has partnered with Financial Services Roundtable and 
ITAC, the Identity Theft Assistance Center, to provide this service, and 
OSF is contributing information on recent data breaches to the site. 
BreachCenter.com also features news and opinions from the ITAC blog. 
Please check them out when you can.

Lastly, T-Mobile has been in the news recently regarding an apparent data 
breach, which may or may not have involved its customers' personal 
information. According to USA Today, "The document 'copied' by the hacker 
Pwnmobile did not get into his hands via a hack, the company says. 
Information in the document is legitimate T-Mobile data, but is not 
customer information. Investigators can't yet say for certain how 
Pwnmobile got his mitts on a copy of the document." So while details are 
still sketchy, we're following the story and will post information to the 
DataLoss Mail List as it becomes available.
