Stealing credit cards
from the Who-gives-a-crap dept
There is a flaw in a popular shopping cart program that allows backdoor access to credit card information (and presumably other personal information). Quite frankly, who gives a shit? If someone steals my credit card I say more power to them. They can use it as much as they want, I'm certainly not responsible for the charges. Personal info is certainly a concern, but if someone really wants to come and visit me, that's fine...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

umm, WOW
I use CCs online, no biggy, if someone steals it...they can only take what I have in my checking account, and helllo, I found out I don't make that much soo, I say let them. I don't welcome it, but ..same reason we have car insurance, we don't want 'them' to break in but ..if it happens, who cares? The only prob is IF the bank will not get the cash back for you.
My page is up, www.collectivethoughts.org, mail WILL be up tonight!
