British Judo in deep shido after cyber attack

The British Judo Association has temporarily shut down its online membership application system after an illegal intrusion snagged some members' details. The association is grappling with an information breach that has possibly tossed members' credit card info right into the clutches of online criminals. The BJA has warned …

/me is waiting for all of the people that know 4 or 5 words in Japanese to debate over the meaning of shido.

Shido = penalty

Yay, something I can answer!

Shido is a penalty awarded if someone slightly breaks the rules in a Judo match.

(Such as having your arm all around their neck - headlock style or dropping to your knees for a throw). Think it's minus 3 points? It has been a while...

Re: nostalgia...

Segal?

He's a seventh or eighth Dan in hapkido, maybe even higher by now.

Not someone to piss off, even if he is tubby.....

PCI Compliance

we are aware that an unauthorised person has illegally gained access ... despite the system being PCI compliant.

Remember, PCI Isn't strictly about keeping credit card details safe: It's about allowing the credit card companies to pass the blame onto you.

The place also took the bouncers off for the night too for some reason :P
