Over the weekend, you may have heard of Global Payments’ data breach, which caused 1.5 million credit card accounts to be compromised.

As a result, Global Payments has lost Visa (and quite possibly Mastercard) as clients, suffered a 12% drop in share prices, and received significant brand damage. Global Payments Chief Executive Paul Garcia has now pledged to spend more on security, but it all seems a little too late.
