Whither Trusted Computing?

I just received a letter from Visa USA saying that my card/account has been "compromised" by a 3rd-party merchant. But they won't identify them. That's crap. I want to know who is being negligent. Visa needs to pressure them to update their security and I need to know who to avoid.

EXACTLY!!!!

I totally agree, we should be advised of who the negligent third party is so consumers can make an informed choice of where to spend our money. More importantly, consumers should be informed so we can know WHO TO TRUST and who to avoid.

Been saying this for YEARS now

Data security has been ignored by corporations, small businesses and the media but now that this is out of control how does this attorney get free publicity for saying what other experts have been saying for years now?
