OK... I see the announcement but I see the company mentioned is 
"CardSystems", and not "Card Services International".  I believe both 
companies are not related.  Correct me if I am wrong please. 

Furthermore if the theft included CVV records then they are in clear 
violation of MasterCard and Visa policies which explicitly say those 
numbers cannot be stored anywhere.

Thanks.
