Keeping Customer Credit Card Data Safe With PCI-DSS

What is PCI-DSS? It stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. PCI-DSS applies to all business that accepts credit card information, stores credit card information , or any information about the cardholder. Yes, even Mom and Pop operations fall under PCI-DSS regulations.

What is good to know that there are 4 different levels that can apply to you. Almost everyone stats off at level 4 if you process less than 20,000 transactions per year. The more transactions your company does, the higher your level will rise. At bare minimum as a level 4 merchant or company, you must complete a Self Assessment Questionnaire, and may have to pass a can of your network by a A.S.V. (Approved Scanning Vendor)

Organized cybercrime: bad guys go pro, highlighting “customer service”

J003-Content-OrganizedCybercrime_SQBack when I was a police officer in suburban Texas, most of the criminals I dealt with weren’t very bright. Burglars and embezzlers, druggies and drunk drivers and domestic violence perpetrators, they had that in common. Even the ones who were well educated and held impressive job titles weren’t nearly as clever in carrying out their illicit activities. You see a lot of brilliant criminal masterminds in the movies but we didn’t see many of them in real life. But that was in Life 1.0, a.k.a. Life before the Internet.

One of the things that always made it easier for law enforcement to catch and prosecute the bad guys was the fact that the majority worked alone or with one or two fumbling, bumbling partners. From petty thievery to murder, most crimes weren’t well-thought-out. Criminal types were usually impulsive and consequently made a lot of mistakes that led to their downfall. The exception was organized crime, exemplified by the Italian Mafia – and members of those criminal organizations proved much more difficult to bring to justice.
