Identity Theft With That Tenderloin?

Visa came out last week saying that restaurants are the most common place for credit card theft to occur. The company, with a wealth of detailed data at it's disposal from millions of card holders, says nearly 40% of thefts happen at restaurants. The report also says that some companies are saving data from the cards that makes compromises by thiefs even easier. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant industry contests these figures... but I tend to believe the guys issuing the cards.
