Picture the scene. I arrive last Sunday to participate in a sporting event. I park my car in a public car park next to the venue, a landscape of hills and woods.

When it comes to e-commerce, Zapp could indeed represent a compelling value proposition if they do three things: (1) offer consumers the same protection as conventional credit cards; (2) provide e-merchants with liability shift in respect of chargebacks; and (3) extend Zapp to cred...

Everybody these days talks about Target data breach. It is serious and damaging for such massive company reputation. On top of that there is huge financial liability on Target's shoulders right now.
