| Despite a market capitalization of almost $13bn, it appears the
| company couldn't afford to secure its Wi-Fi network with anything
| more robust than the woefully inadequate Wired Equivalent Privacy
| protocol. (The much more secure Wi-Fi Protected Access has come
| standard on most routers for four years now.) It also failed to use
| firewalls or install software patches and disregarded requirements
| imposed by Visa and MasterCard concerning how card information is
| stored and transmitted.
