"Today someone discovered a Google search that displays the credit card numbers of 4 Blippy users."
If as they say, all they released were 4 credit card numbers, I understand why they act like this isn't a big deal.
Their system works and has worked the entire time for 99.98 percent of all people. Those few people who did get their numbers published, well, send them a ham or something. At worst, if the cards are used, the user will have a couple days of saying "Chargeback X chargeback Y". This isn't even about a bug currently in their software, but a small one from a long time ago from a credit card processor arguably doing something incorrectly (or at least, quite strangely).
