With the approach the holiday season, retailer’s and
merchants will need to be diligent in watching over their operations. Identity
thieves, scammers, hackers, and others criminal types will be going
full-fledged during the holidays. They will be counting of the hustle and
bustle to allow them to penetrate Point Of Sale systems across the country.
They will use any tool they can, from virus to converting an employee, to steal
the data that they want.
The scary part is that when they are successful the backlash
at the merchant will be intense. For each merchant system that is compromised
there will be questions and complaints as to how this could and did happen. The
business that doesn’t have the correct answers, or failed to observe some
security step, will in the end answer these ugly questions in a court of law.
