Naming the retailers responsible for the breach is absolutely essential, as far as I'm concerned.
I certainly would profit from knowing...
Published reports say Visa USA customer account numbers and personal identification numbers were stolen from a major retailer, possibly OfficeMax.
This week, Visa USA notified banks across the nation about the security lapse. The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the case.

It hit us, too; Friday night. Husband went to get Chinese food and was refused; need I even say he called me and raised Holy Hell, wanting to know WHY the checking account was empty, even though there was several thousand dollars in there? After he calmed down, he went to the bank to get cash; it kept his card!
I want to know WHO this happened to. It's not fair to cause this much trouble without naming the company.
