Lowes security team is laughable, however what worries me, not to give excuse to the group of guys involved is 1) that someone that didn't end up stealing a thing is getting 12 years in the can. 2) That this is the only recent article on the subject.

I would wonder where Mr. polsen gets his information if all of the other syndicated security news people are republishing his work, where did the "facts" come from.

In the matter that the security team found tcpcredit so fast, might have had something to do with the stores in California that "crashed" for the day. (see Detroit free press articles on the matter)

Just my 2 cents. I work near where this happened, and the fact that people still shop at that store, scares me. I was actually escorted out of the store for asking a manager why they aren't more responsible for their customers information.

Also on another note, this is what CC fraud protection is for. This way all of us working class folk don't lose our houses.
