I was in NYC from Jan 14 2012 to Jan 25 on holidays from Sydney. About a week after I returned I was informed that there ahd been fraudulent activity on my Visa and my card was re-issued. I probably used it in a taxi; reports are saying taxis and parking garages were compromised. The interesting thing is that this activity was detected quickly beteween Jan 21 and Feb 25, but not reported until March 30. Meantime cards have been monitored and reissued and, presumeably, some malcreants have been apprehended. What happend to transparency? Wasn't Sony and Steam suppose to notify customers immediately a breach was detected? Global Paymaents, Visa and Mastercard are still not confirming anything? Any PCI experts out there know what the law says about this?
