Hi, how's rendo going to handle the new credit card security demands as outlined in the article ? And what's this with the recent merchant receipts for ancient transactions ? I know at least two merchants who've gotten new receipts for sales that happened yonks ago. ~S

Hi spinner, The old sales reposting was a system glitch that has been fixed. In regards to the Credit Card security demands. We have been working with our bank on this. No worries. Thanks, Clint

so when do we start on the forced password changes as required in the new standards?

Khai, what are "forced password changes" ? The BBC article doesn't mention them, only password lengths. Also, the article intimates this is a UK iniative, will these changes happen in the US. If not will us Brits still be able to buy here ?

"The standards go as far as to dictate what length passwords must be, how often they must be changed and force firms to be very careful with credit card information and who gets access to it." erm... the password changes are mentioned right after password lengths ;) and no. it's an international standard. "Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diners, Discover, and JCB" are all international firms. just reported on a UK site thats all..

"erm..." oopps missed that bit :) "and no it's an international standard". Thats good. Sometimes it's real hassle when only one country implements a standard. Like in france when they switched to chip and pin, before the UK.

Interesting article. I may be mistaken, but I think that 'rosity doesn't store creditcard info. Everytime I buy something from the MP, I have to fill out the complete creditcard info. The creditcard info gets passed to the payment provider, and the transaction will be approved (or denied). The only thing 'rosity stores would be the transaction ID, as proof that the transaction took place. Good practice. A store should only keep track of those transaction IDs - they're useless to hackers. If there's no database of creditcard info, there's nothing that hackers could steal! If I'm right, there's no problem at all.
