RE: Credit card numbers

[Michele Chubirka <chubirka () gwu edu>]

This is or will soon be illegal in California. Part of the anti-identity
theft legislation movement there. They will also be requiring the
ability to attach PINs to credit reports. They will be requiring that
all merchants use credit card systems which do NOT print the full credit
card number and/or expiration date.

Maybe it is only me, but does anyone else notice a big jump in the
number of merchants that are printing the entire credit card number and
expiration date on receipts?
Over the past 6 months I have had to educate about a dozen local
merchants about the possible abuse scenarios that exist with this type
of information leakage. If there
Is not already some sort of law governing this policy, there should be.
