Folks,

I assume half the mailing list is going to be driving 
around their towns tonight scanning for this problem. I 
know I will. I am not about to give my credit card to a 
store that cant even keep the number secure. 

Might I suggest we begin reporting confirmed stores and the 
issues found here so the media can get the word out effectivily. 
The more names that are listed here means more pressure the 
general public and the media will place on these stores to 
rapidly fix the problem. Obviously this mailing list is read
by many in the underground community. I am sure many will 
begin scanning almost immediatly if they aren't already. 
A rapid response by the security community might prevent 
widespread identity theft. 

Thanks,
Mike
