I am impressed that a Chase Bank representative bothered to respond. I wonder if that person will get to keep their job.

Another wakeup call for healtcare organiztions which put a spot light on their current state of information security - it is high time for healthcare organizations to know their current state of security and develop some sort of transition plan based on security standards (iso 27k) to improve their baseline security.

THis is a really interesting example of the interface between white collar crime and organized crime and it's a chilling example of the vulnerability of desperate people with access to the internet - the customers afraid of swine flu, I mean.

So what's new? People shouldn't be very surprised because our politicians don't really care about law enforcing and health care. The medical system is getting worse and worse, but we do have some good news from the laws that will force health insurance companies to accept chronical ill people. That's all. But I need to mention that the law forcing health insurance companies is still to be discussed.

Donn Parker defines due care as a “use of resonable safeguards based on the practices of similiar organizations”

Fred Cohen defines “due diligence is met by virtue of compliance review.”

You said, "PCI has no ROI and simply too much for a small business", but you never indicated what they have too much of (debt, competitors, etc). What ever it is, perhaps it can be resolved with a little more advertising using online methods like social media, Adwido, etc.

Scary. No matter the high security a bank implements, the hackers job is to unveil the "code". They are experts in this matter. Hmmm, the end result: poor consumers.

Indeed, there is still a great need for education in regard to PCI compliance, as is evidenced by the common misconceptions outlined above.

If you're interested in making PCI compliance slightly more entertaining while you learn, try our PCI Compliance Quiz Widget: http://www.elementps.com/pci-compliance-quiz/

Enjoy!

Although the line items in the report are a providian.com little obfuscated (TEXT4462 links to “Customer and other Miscellaneous Fees”, and TEXT4463 links to “Intercompany Procesing Fee Income”), I was able to extract a couple of interesting numbers.

There is another link under the category of personal finance but it has nothing to do with finance. If you have difficulties in making payment, you can click the link named

wachoviabank.com. You will have an expert helping you to fix your problems and you don’t have to go out of your

home to get the service. What you need to do is to choose a button between the two “call us today” and “we’ll call you”. Don’t you think this service shows the

attentiveness and consideration of the Wachovia? It’s really good in my opinion.
