          heh, have any wanted sensitive info emailed? by Freakazoid2014-02-03 12:59:19
            More than I care to admit.... *le sigh* by Classic_Jon 2014-02-03 13:21:02
I think I posted it here a while back where a debit card company sent us "test card #'s" in plain text in an e-mail....

While it is not technically "against the rules" if they TELL YOU that the numbers are for testing purposes but when they sent them to us...they did not tell us they were for testing ONLY... just "Here have some card numbers to use."
It was not until I made a *huge* deal about it officially and invoked PCI regs in an e-mail after they blew me off for "over reacting" did they tell us that those card numbers were for testing only.... o.O!!! Little late there....

Now, all of that being said... if you follow "Best practices" you ***ALWAYS*** follow the rules no matter what so that there is not an "exception" or situation where you goof and send out "sensitive info" unencrypted... Not following the regs in ALL cases is just asking for something bad to happen....

This is also the same reason that most of our documentation is sent out in a PDF format that is then compressed before being sent out. Nothing sensitive leaves here unencrypted or at the least not in plain text...period...

I have *never failed an audit by the bank nor the FED reserve and I do not plan to ever have that issue. If you do it right, that is not a problem :-)

*sigh, shakes head*
