Newspaper CC disclosure aftermath

[Chris Walsh <cwalsh () cwalsh org>]

Via American Banker (paywall):

"Boston Globe: The Boston Globe and Worcester Telegram & Gazette spent the day dealing with the aftermath of a data 
breach. A deluge of angry customers overwhelmed a special hotline set up to deal with the complaints from the printing 
of credit card information on newspaper-bundle "toppers". Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly is looking 
into whether the newspapers violated the state's consumer-protection law. Publishers probably can't rely on a 
federal-preemption defense."
