securing credit card data

This is an interesting letter I got from a company im signed up with.
So many of credit cards have been stolen, because people working for corprit industries leave there laptops with over 100000 subscriber's contact information including there social ensurance number.
Recently, it seems that on any given day, there's a story in the news detailing how company X or company Y has reported the loss or theft of tens ofthousands of credit card records. Backup tapes loaded with transaction data lost in the mail. Laptops filled with customer records swiped from trunks ofcars. Card numbers swiped out of thin air as they move between POS systems and servers over WiFi networks. It's a growing problem.
If your business accepts credit cards, it's more important than ever make sure that you're doing things the right way. Specifically, you have to makesure that your efforts to secure card data are compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
