| Shift4 Offers Merchants Options to Achieve PCI Compliance
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Merchants facing deadlines to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and protect against credit card data theft have a secure and cost-effective alternative to investing in new point-of-sale and data storage systems. Shift4 Corporation (http://www.shift4.com/) offers a payment processing system that integrates with existing systems and is certified to be in compliance with all Card Association regulations and recognized by Visa USA as compliant with PCI DSS. $$$ ON THE NET(R) (Dollars on the Net) provides authorizations and settlements for credit, debit, check, private-label and gift card transactions. This system is based on Tokenization technology -- developed and publicly released by Shift4 in 2005 -- that provides a greater level of security by removing all usable personal card data from the entire transaction process, including point-of-sale devices.

The Mercer County Department of Transportation and Public Service Electric & Gas Co. were called to the scene for repairs to the traffic light. Approximately $400 worth of property — including a credit card, perfume, change, sunglasses and mints — was stolen from five unlocked vehicles that were entered on Carnahan Place, Henry Avenue and Jefferson Road on Sunday, police said.

CSI: TCP/IP
LOCATED ON THE LESS FASHIONABLE north end of the Las Vegas strip, the Riviera Hotel and Casino has seen better days. Even the girls in posters for the hotel's topless revue could use a makeover. But hey, it's cheap. Which is why 6,000 hackers have descended upon it for DefCon, billed as the "largest underground hacking event in the world." So while the hotel is no doubt happy for the business, it's also – in classic Vegas fashion – hedging its bet. Employees received a memo warning them to be on the lookout for people skimming guests' card numbers. Credit card processing has been suspended in the food court. The Riviera doesn't need the grief. .

Shoppers become stingy with gift cards, the latest sign of consumer ...
NEW YORK (AP) — Here's a sign of how shaky the economy has become: Wal-Mart says its shoppers are redeeming their holiday gift cards for basic items — pasta sauce, diapers, laundry detergent — instead of iPods or DVDs. Merchants had hoped shoppers armed with gift cards would provide a lift after a dismal holiday shopping season — partly because shoppers tend to spend even more than the value of the card. But that didn't seem to happen last month, and retailers are feeling the pain. Yesterday, the nation's retailers turned in their worst January in almost four decades as high gas and food prices, a slumping housing market, tighter credit and a tougher job market pushed consumers to the edge. Sales at 43 retailers surveyed by the UBS-International Council of Shopping Centers rose just 0.5 percent in January, well below the original 1.5 percent forecast.
