The majority of online fraud occurs through electronic communication. We receive emails daily that represent some type of phishing scheme or web spoofing, which can be deleted with a simple click of the delete button. But what happens when your personal information has been stolen through a third-party vendor's technical error while you made a purchase from your local retail store, who stores your credit card and personal information within a remote database?
