Even a proactive business owner may not have known about the risks to accepting credit cards. Thanks.

Law enforcement sources tell me that decryption programs to defeat the current levels of credit card security can be bought for $125 on the web and installed in 15 minutes."

Your law enforcement friend is uneducated in this topic, I work in data forensics- simple PGP or RSA encryption would have solved this problem.

Perfect example above, from recent news- and thats a cheap encryption suite. Like I said your law enforcement buddy needs to quit talking about things he does not understand.

They key is to;
1. use intelligent passwords on all systems and equipment
2. protect the transmission and reception of cc data
3. protect your customer, dont let your waiters wonder off with a credit card, have managers be on the lookout for skimmers

Think like a criminal, its not that hard, how would you steal from your own business?
Then work on that weakness.

Criminals evolve, you must as well.
