MasterCard unsafe?

Members of hacking group named Anonymous have claimed they have acquired information after they hacked MasterCard’s website.

"To people of the industrial world, dismiss your #Mastercard now!!!" was a quote from the group’s Twitter profile before the account was cancelled by Twitter.

This act was part of Anonymous’ attacks which has been dubbed “Operation: Payback”. They took down the Mastercard and Visa websites because Mastercard and Visa were in charge of donations for Wikileaks. They eventually stop due to pressure from the government and this is where Anonymous attacked. They wanted them to carry on giving donations to Wikileaks.
