I´m a small retailer, they won’t target me
Nov 30th, 2012 by Jesper Kråkhede
PCI DSS is an interesting and demanding standard. Small retailers seldom have the time or resources to actually handle it correctly. This still doesn´t mean that they are not a target. With large retailers becoming PCI DSS compliant the focus for the crooks is shifted towards where it is easier to conduct a hack. In Australia half a million cards have been stolen from small retailers using only the simple remote desktop built in Windows (and almost all other OS). You could just imagine the fines those retailers now are facing for not taking security seriously.
