Credit Card ID Theft Affects 180,000

BetaNews | Credit Card ID Theft Affects 180,000

Yet another case of identity theft and it again affects hundreds of thousands of people. This time the victims are those who have GM-branded Master Cards and used them at Polo Ralph Lauren stores.
How many victims will it take before some serious steps are taken to protect customers - note that the article makes the point that other banks may have also been affected but the law does not require them to inform customers that their credit card numbers may have been stolen. That makes it pretty difficult to protect yourself.
