PCI is just so damn interesting - it’s like a soap opera…  Seriously - if you don’t have to deal with it everyday, I’m sure (as a retailer) that you count yourself lucky, but honestly it’s a hoot.

The game at hand is a combination of punishment and liability avoidance - the case of Hannaford is a good example.  Just when you think it’s all over and Hannaford gets to pick up the pieces and move on, everything takes a new twist.  Now the Maine Supreme Court is getting involved and is going to look at whether cardholders should be compensated for the time and effort involved in dealing with the fact that their cards where compromised.

This should be really interesting for others in the a similar situation ….  Stay tuned…
