Radiant Systems and Computer World responsible for breach affecting restaurants – lawsuit

What’s most interesting to me in all of this is that fact that the restaurants seem to ‘get it’ - they understand the holistic impact of PCI on process, procedures, technology, etc. and, after being smacked around by the card brands for being the merchant where the breach occured, they have taken that holistic understanding and are working to hold their providers responsible.

Should be interesting to see how this plays out for all parties involved - it could have a real impact on POS software providers, the service organizations, and merchants of all sizes…
