"...merchants would be required to obey these rules or face fines, sales
restrictions or loss of membership."
"Among the new requirements, merchants must install a firewall, keep
security patches up-to-date, encrypt stored and transmitted data, use
and regularly update antivirus software and restrict employee access to
sensitive data to a need-to-know basis."
"Merchants must also assign unique IDs to everyone with access to data,
track access by ID, avoid using default settings for passwords and
regularly test security systems."
