    Greetings.
    
    I noticed this when i read the Vuln-Dev link to the story, but didn't
    think much of it.  In this article, by Mike Magee, there are of course
    the obvious journalistic touch-ups, but then there is something which
    is blatantly incorrect.

    Now, from the original post: "I did indeed find a RAW clear text
    credit card number....not mine ... but definately a credit card
    number."
