    SECURITY NEWS: Credit card processor crumbles after security lapse

    - Credit card processor Cardsystems will likely have to close its doors after hackers stole 40 million client records. The company last week lost two of its main customers, Visa and America Express.

    ----

    With so many people using their credit cards, more than ever before actually, its getting so that the security companies really need to give it 200% to protect their clients.

    I'm as yet credit-card less, its cash all the way for me
