[dano <dano () well com>]

 From an email on a private list, posted about 1900 GMT. I've not seen 
this yet in the news, but here is part of the post:

> [...] CitiBank Visa. A bit afterwards I get a call from Visa saying 
> my card's been stolen but no charges have been detected, "Press 1 to 
> cancel your card and have a new one sent out to you." Fuck off you 
> automated harbinger of doom.
>
> I call Citi to get the scoop on why they're prank calling me.
>
> They're canceling MILLIONS of cards today because of some security 
> snafu. I tell them to go ahead and kill the card and send a new one.
