Yeah, the $200/card probably reflects the fact that if a stolen card gets used, it likely get used for several under-$500 purchases (I believe that's the current level to increase the card provider's interest in verification). So if a stolen card that gets used costs $2,000 on average, that means that even if only 1 in 10 stolen cards gets used, that $200 is correct.
I still doubt that it applies to Heartland, however -- action was taken and I doubt that the black hats managed to use 10M cards before they were all cut off. But who knows...! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
