Consumers Have Become Habituated to Retailer Data Breaches
PRWeb - Tue Nov 04, 2:05AM CST
By now everyone has heard of the big retail store data breaches involving customer debit and credit cards, with Home Depot just last month announcing data theft from their stores in the U.S. and Canada. Unlike Target who suffered from a significant downturn in sales due to its breach at the end of 2013, Home Depot hasn't taken a heavy hit on its sales and doesn't appear to be experiencing a similar loss in consumer confidence. It may be that shoppers have gotten so used to hearing about data violations that they are ignoring the implications. But data theft is an ongoing threat that is difficult for individuals to protect themselves from.

SmartMetric Says EMV Chip Cards Are Not the Secure Fortress Against Credit Card Fraud as Many Believe
Marketwired - Mon Nov 03, 10:10AM CST
SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) -- The new to the USA credit card standard called EMV is not the impenetrable security fortress that many have been lead to believe. With banks and retailers spending huge sums in conversion of systems and readers over to the new chip card technology called EMV chip cards cracks in the defences of EMV as a secure system are already being seen. Recently many of the credit card numbers that had been stolen in the recent Home Depot credit card heist have been used over the EMV payment network in Brazil causing yet again losses for US banks. This Brazil penetrative of EMV security is not the first time EMV technology has been shown to be vulnerable. Canada who has switched over to EMV chip cards still had EMV Card information stolen in the Canadian branches of Home Depot.
