&gt;Thus, if they use, say, an unsecured unpatched Windows IIS web server and
&gt;1,000,000 customer credit cards get compromised and falsely billed, the

&gt;Read the fine print and take your business elsewhere and tell them
&gt;why you are!

Let's not forget CAPPS II, either.  What a bad combination: disregard for
the customer information that they are so willing to hand over to Big Bro..
I mean, Big Bush, and then trying to protect themselves from the damage
they caused.

Cheers,
