Wow first: what a FAIL!

As a comsumer that shops online, one of the biggest fears I have of my credit card information being hacked and/or found. The fact that thier numbers were on a GOOGLE search... is too extreme if I think this be the end of Blippy? I mean, a HUGE part of online shopping is security and protection and TRUST. That is shot. Now what?

This is a pretty unbelievable occurrence. How can you be a company constantly dealing with individuals personal credit information and not have control over this. I really don't see them resolving this and moving forward in the future. I also believe this will be the end of a service such as this. People will be too skeptical from now on and not see this service being worth the risk. Crazy crazy Internet.
