Maybe there's got to be some serious attention paid by the issuers to fraud, soon, beyond trying to shift the blame? It's amazing that chip & pin is only now starting to be introduced into the US - with, of course, plenty of large retailers lagging on replacing their readers.
For added hilarity, a friend was just talking about how he's now had three recent card breaches - before the cards (all replacements) have even reached him.
Needless to say, I hope the CUs manage to make it out of this intact. No financial institution is any angel, but they do tend to be considerably less predatory in their fees, and have some genuine local connection, versus some random conglomerate like Bank of Italy^WAmerica.
