      Sometimes, news headlines make me wonder. I can calculate out a valid/invalid credit card number in a minute or two by hand, how hard would it really be for me to just make up one that passes most built-in security mechanisms?

      Anyway, onto the real news.
      Found on Spiceworks
      ArsTechnica Report

      Visa never put a system wide brute force mitigation in place. #fail

        This is where credit fraud protection comes into place, and class action law-suits start for all of the declined claims from people who have had their credit cards used illegally, and the bills not dropped by Visa.

        I'd be surprised if there aren't already commericals on TV for 'Do you have a Visa credit card? Has your credit card been used without your consent, and the charges not dropped by Visa, call us now, you may be entitled to X"
