The gang stole credit card data of more than 5,000 customers, although only 675 were used to make illegal purchases.......ONLY 675???

OK, they got caught. Now watch our government give them a slap on the wrist. It's time criminals started receiving severe punishment no matter what the crime is. If you want to dance, you have to pay the piper. There are two choices in life, live a normal productive life or commit crime and face the concequences! In the end we all pay for this because credit card companies raise their rates to protect themselves against situations like this.

I don't understand how people can give their credit card to someone they don't know, who then disappears with it for 5 minutes until it comes back to you. I never do that. Cash.

Why does dave and busters have card info saved. That's the problem.

I stopped going to that place because it's kiddie city, even at 10:00 p.m. on a school night! I wonder what kind of parents take their kid out to play video games at 10:00 p.m. on a Tuesday.
This country is raising a generation of retards - 10:00 p.m. in a bar playing video games...

[Wow]

This is exactly why I don't like credit cards. I just don't trust it. Scary!

He has a point, silly. If they have 5,000 credit cards, how come they used such a small percentage of them? It's a valid question.

I read it as 675 being a bit more than ONLY.
ONLY 5 would be more reasonable.

Why are their POS terminals connected to the Internet without a firewall? I smell a class action suit.
