Well that just made my brain explode. This is going to make it that much harder to argue that public clouds take security seriously. I'd love to see an example of what data they think is fine to leak, since that seems to be their perfo

Just like napalm, mustard gas and nuclear weapons, yep, no volition there either. Just can't figure out why people misuses weapons to harm others... such a mystery.

I still don't get how they had the mag stripe, the PCI compliance [1] documentation is pretty clear about that: Sensitive data on the magnetic stripe or chip must never be stored. Only the PAN, expiration date, service code, or cardho
