    Ever wonder what will probably cause you to have a breach? This post discusses the top five reasons why PCI DSS breaches occur.

  • The debate on PCI DSS often focuses on things we need to add to the standard, but I suggest that there are things we can remove. Check out this post for ideas.
  • Mystery shopper scams have been around for a long time, but it seems like this year they got a bit more aggressive. Check out this post for details and evidence.
