Bonus points for finding a standard that provides enough *actual* security

of all the credit-card breaches we've seen so far this century, something
outrageous like 97% of the victim companies had current audits that listed
them as being 100% PCI compliant at the time of the incident.


This is obvious troll bait, you know very well that PCI compliance has very
little to do with security and is a mechanism for payment companies to
transfer their risk to merchants. ;)
