When several companies had their billing systems breach, they too proactive measures. They came out looking "better" by notifying customers and offering credit monitoring. This probably mitigated their damage. However, if there ended up being charges, the CC company could go after the business for the costs.. CC companies are good about not sticking it to the consumer when it comes to fraud. They more than make up for it with their interest rates though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20316775 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 03:20:31 EDT Re: sigh http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20312438 tc1uscg :

Not if you agreed to hold them harmless simply by using their service... which you likely did. Sorry, Sprint is going to leave you out in the cold on this one--and I say this as a longtime Sprint customer.

I'd say your bank is more liable than the company is, since they're the ones who will end up eating any unauthorized charges. But good luck suing them.
Name me one company (wireless) that WON'T leave you in the cold?
tick tock tick tock.. BZZZZZ times up.

If someone breaches their system, then they are liable. Same goes if you use your credit card at a store, and someone hacks the system. I'm sure you recalled that happening all not long ago =).
I'm not disputing that a degree of liability exists. I'm just saying that it may not be as extensive as you assume. A substantial portion depends on what the state law is because the feds are severely remiss when it comes to data breaches of servers and ID theft.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20309176 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:02:09 EDT Re: sigh http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20308759 insomniac : Not if you agreed to hold them harmless simply by using their service... which you likely did.
