Merchants that connect to the Internet are at risk for information compromises. This risk for small businesses is often due to POS systems that are not configured properly on Internet-accessible computers and terminals. Computer thieves, known as "hackers," exploit security weaknesses to gain access to customer credit card information. Stolen information can be sold to help manufacture fake credit cards that are used in fraudulent transactions.
Ultimately, the merchant is responsible for credit card security breaches and can be held accountable for fines, chargebacks and other financial losses. These penalties and financial consequences can exceed $1 million for a single merchant location.
