[Dataloss] CardSystems Settles FTC Charges

[lyger]

In the case of CardSystems and their new companies, it might be because 
VISA is no longer doing business with them?

What suprises me is that ChoicePoint was hit with a $15 million settlement 
and CardSystems, which was a much larger breach in terms of people 
affected, only has to "implement a comprehensive security program" and 
undergo ten audits over the next twenty years.
