Hyatt card breach update

If you stayed at a Hyatt between Aug 13 and Dec 8 last year, chances are you're card might have been compromised particularly if you at the hotel restaurants...spa, parking and other shops included. The malware breached about 250 hotels in 50 nations: link to Hyatt's notification website
While the chip and pin new cards will help in these matters i.e. but not solve the hacking problem, US finally joins the rest of the G20 nation to shift liability to merchants - if merchants equipment is not upgraded to EMV-compliant, and issuers not upgrading cards.  That being the case, e-commerce providers shift to being more the target.
