Yet another data breach

This time it's the credit card details of up to 38,000 customers of clothing retailer Cotton Traders that have been stolen according to the BBC News.

The firm claim to have upgraded their security. It's tough for those that might have been affected. But it makes you wonder if you're better of with a company that's been hit and sorted itself out, or one that has yet to be caught out.

Certainly I'd be more comfortable in future dealing with Cotton Traders. It will be interesting to see how the market responds.
