"Moved out 4 domains. Transfer complete. Called in to close my account completely but they said all I can do is remove my payment information. Changed name and address. My name with them is now "No SOPA!"" - Haydur

"Also the pools aren't meant to be filled with water to the brim. I have seen the pools being tested, and it's mostly about the flows over the side walls... May be 10% of the pools are filled with water when operational." - Haydur

"It basically means PCI-DSS, security policy review (or development), and other similar engagements that are definitely security related but not exactly as glamorous as pen testing." - Haydur

"My firm in NYC is looking to hire security professionals with application and network pentesting experience. If you've had additional exposure to security risk assessments, vendor reviews, PCI-DSS, ISO, BITS/SIG, ITGRC tools, etc. it would be a major plus for you. In short, it's great if you are highly technical, but your time will be split between app/net scans and non-technical but security related projects. This is a full-time competitively salaried consulting position with a majority of the clients and work locations within the metropolitan NYC area. PM me with your resume or some basic information." - Haydur

"Why did you guys kill the API? Was it because you couldn't monetize it? Both Yahoo! and Bing allow image searches via their APIs." - Haydur

"Square is PCI certified Tier 1 merchant, which has the most stringent certification requirements as defined by the CC industry. So unless the industry body requires everyone (including Verifone) to require encryption from the hardware to the application, I don't see why they are exposing their customers any more than any other provider. And Square's application, once it reads the swiped card info, already encrypts all data before transmission. It does not store the information locally." - Haydur

"How is this less secure than handing anyone your card information (or providing it over the phone) and that person secretly writing it down? Also, Verifone makes a PC CC processing tool called PCCharge. It works with any and all types of card readers. I can buy a USB or serial magnetic strip reader at eBay, and use it to "pretend" to be using PCCharge and instead save their card information using my own app. So how is Verifone's own PC application any more secure than Square?" - Haydur

I can buy a USB or serial magnetic strip reader at eBay, and use it to "pretend" to be using PCCharge and instead save customer card data using my own app (or use a keylogger). So how is Verifone's own PC application any more secure than Square? ** For example, PC Charge's official [compatible hardware list](http://www.verifone.com/PDF...) includes Cherry 7000/8000 keyboards. These models offer no built-in encryption and send the data unecrypted to the PC, i.e. open a Notepad window, scan a card and it'll read both track 1 & 2 data in to the document.
