Walmart Stored Value Cards Compromised 450
morcheeba writes "It appears that Walmart's pre-paid gift cards have been hacked. Customers are buying cards and finding that criminals have already emptied them of value.

I wonder just what rectumfying is. Maybe it's like "radidzomai" in Greek (to be buggered by a raddish), or the Tossed Salad Man. I'll bet rectumfying would deter anyone else from hacking gift cards!

Why do people refer to Walm*rt with a star in the name?
Well, they might be using the star as a sphinctor symbol. Yessir. Heck, we used to put 'em by people's names on memos to denote sphinctorhood.
