This week's Risky Business podcast is brought to you by MessageLabs, and hosted, as always, by Vigabyte virtual hosting.
On this week's show you'll hear some audio from a hearing in the US House of Representatives -- excerpts from the subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity, and Science and Technology Hearing. That hearing posed the question "Do the Payment Card Industry Data Standards Reduce Cybercrime?"
Apparently they don't.

I agree. I wasn't surprised that the retailers stuck the boot in, but I had no idea the politicians would actually "get it" to the extent they appeared to.
Will be interesting to see if we're relying on PCI DSS in a few years. I suspect we'll have moved to a 2FA-driven solution, so most card data will be worthless to an intruder. Time will tell.
Thanks for the comment!
