From the letter, written by NRF Chief Information Officer David Hogan: “All of us – merchants, banks, credit card companies and our customers – want to eliminate credit card fraud. But if the goal is to make credit card data less vulnerable, the ultimate solution is to stop requiring merchants to store card data in the first place.
