The way I read the notification, it didn't sound like the processor was affiliated with 1st Bank:"We would also like to reassure you that the compromise of information occurred at a merchant card processor's location, not FirstBank and therefore your account information at FirstBank has not been obtained by these unauthorized indivuduals(SIC)."
Perhaps they are just notifying customers affected by another company's gaff? Must be a bad day if they didn't even spell-check the notification before it went out.. -Dennis From: B.K.

Well, whomever it was will probably get wacked with a HUGE fine for violating PCI Security standards. I'm guessing it won't take long todetermine who falls under approved card processors for Visa.
They might get fined, but not buy Visa. Too much butter on that bread to throw it in the bin.
The FTC, OTOH, may do some enforcement: http://www.emergentchaos.com/archives/2006/06/prediction.html Visa has been zealously guarding the "privacy" of these processors since at least December of 2005, when the Sam's Club stuff started to hit the fan.
