CurrentC breach

2014-10-29 17:36:39.366657+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Oh this is awesome!

So Rite Aid, CVS, Wal*Mart, Best Buy and others have decided that they're not going to take Apple Pay, largely because they're building a competing payment system called "CurrentC".

CurrentC just had their first data breach:

Just hours after publishing a blog post answering some questions about its upcoming CurrentC mobile payments system and touting the security of its cloud-based storage of sensitive information, the company behind the effort, Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX) has alerted users of unauthorized access to their email addresses.
