Is this the biggest debit card news story yet, or am I blowing this out of proportion? It's all over the news, we have the RCMP tech experts saying the entire system has been compromised, the banks are in damage control mode. I think they are going to have to do something fast to overcome this security breach, and I think we are going to either tank completely or take off. I'm surprised the stock has not reacted today. Has anyone called IVI to get their view?

OT - "replace debit cards with smart cards"

When this happens, two additional beneficiaries will be Aastra Technologies (converts phone to ATM for down/uploading cash from/to smart cards) and BCE Emergis (credit payment processing). Both are partners with the Royal Bank in the Mondex trials.
