Got a Mastercard? You’re screwed

Mastercard has begun warning people about a security breach that could put up to 40 million of their cardholders at risk for  identity theft and fraud.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE COMPANIES?!? How hard is it to SAFEGUARD OUR PRIVATE DATA?!?

Prediction: This is a big enough breach to get Congress involved to the point where fines start being levied.
