Digital Transactions: According to new data released by Chicago-based AmbironTrustWave, brick-and-mortar merchants, especially restaurants, pose the biggest risk to card-data compromises. Point-of-sale systems based on personal computers as well as those hooked up to broadband connections, also pose greater risk. The data was compiled after AmbironTrustWave conducted security audits to certify compliance with the 18-month-old Payment Card Industry data-security standard.
