This is not the public's responsibility, as per the incident stated in this article. The companies who issue credit/debit cards, and the machines that authorize payments are however. Yes, I would say. contact an attorney regarding any breach of your account information. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[leapgal44]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 21st 2008 9:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Thieves Snag 4.2 Million Credit Card Numbers from Supermarket Chain]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/18/thieves-snag-4-2-million-credit-card-numbers-supermarket-chain/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/18/thieves-snag-4-2-million-credit-card-numbers-supermarket-chain/</guid><description><![CDATA[ I WAS HIT AS WILL , THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER BEEN THROUGH , NOW I AM BEING TOLD TO GET A LAWERY.
