Customer credit cards exposed in Google search...

Blippy, a site that helps you tell everybody what you have bought online is in my opinion a weird idea, but what's more interesting is that some of their customer's credit cards were shown on Google search:

They have 'fixed' the issue now and are taking security seriously:
We are hugely focused on security and are making efforts to bolster our security to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. We recently raised $11.2 million from investors and are using a significant amount of that to build a world-class, secure infrastructure.
For some reason I am not convinced.

I highly recommend using PayPal, and not giving out your credit card to every site out there.

For a start the service seems a bit pointless! But I guess it'd lead onto a Facebook application and eventually everything you buy would feed onto there...

It's quite scary how well Google indexes websites.

Companies just don't get it...

We're helping clients trying to get more budget internally for security augmentation. Been poking around all the potential ways in which you can get caught in a security mess.

These two scare the heck out of senior management:

This survey report is even more enlightening -- security is becoming a massive issue.
