Theft like this can happen on even the most secure designs but why did it take TWO WEEKS to be discovered?

- freehunter 13y agoSecurity is hard, and good attackers will always have an advantage over the security team. This breech sounds like it may have been fairly off-line in nature, so a SIEM or IDS might not have caught it. On the flip side, there are ways stores can catch this thing offline as well. Good in-store security and employee training to prevent skimmers or modified POS systems, etc. Without more details on how this breech happened, it's only guesses. I can feel their pain, but I don't know exactly how sorry I feel for them without knowing how preventable this attack could have been.
