In this particular case, Russian groups (NGOs?) are purposely using cyber war that probably includes "interfering" with payments of their adversary.

Due to the current issues with identity theft, the group released version 1.2 of the PCI standards. The new standards require, starting October 1, companies to review every six weeks and discontinue using wired equivalent privacy (WEP)protocol by March 2009. New WEP2 will be the standard protocol. I don't think the new standards will be sufficient protection due to the rapid changes expected in networking technologies.<BR/><BR/>Reference<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9113104&source=NLT_AM&nlid=1" REL="nofollow">Changes to PCI standard not expected to up ante on protecting payment card data</A>Gem Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605372753106884634noreply@blogger.com
