Neither time was it due to a security breach of any kind. It's also a lame cause for more government oversight which can only help to worsen the security landscape. Pressure for more and better security should come from the bank's customers...
Well, I assert that since you state that you have had your cards resissued twice in the past two years, that it -- in and of itself -- is pretty meaningless, too. :-) More and more, though, there is enough blame to go around: http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/chrondatabreaches.htm It's still a sad commentary on the current state of affairs with regards to security, privacy, and e-commerce. $.02, - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFFyQSAq1pz9mNUZTMRAtiFAKDbEHOOxQohcQVu/UvI48wlHrWxoQCg6X8C M/+poyayNoXzzR95ZJo9AUw= =qVMO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
