criminals and the kids. i want to compliment target. not only has this complicated now sixthers are currently endure attack but yet they are the obama and stews stand up to talk to us and congress while others walsh. i appreciate that gerri: they will appear at you're hearing but i am not pleased with the target by a long shot. they have known for weeks the and weeks there were problems and did not alert consumers. that is not acceptable. >> neither did the others. since our investigation what we are told, especially by the investigators that they don't want to have the information released too soon because they don't want to support the investigation. we are past that point now. we want to with this massive

technology. we don't. what do you see -- say? >> i believe that will happen in the security of the customer card will now be the front line instead of relying on the retailer with their system to have all of the protections. no doubt the chip and kids is a higher security model. gerri: what is standing in the way? a lot of people like you and me and who are professionals say this is the way to go. >> there is a lot of equipment that would need to be changed out this billions of dollars of new spending there would need to be some traing for consumers on what extra steps they need to take but we have to move in that area. we have to up the level of security. gerri: t.j. max their bach

happened six years ago. americans think everybody is protecting themselves but body is protecting me. at the end of the day a hearing is nice buthen will you do something? >> we have to figure out what we need to do. first we have to protect the consumers with their personal identifiable information that is a dangerous combination. are their systems able to stop these? now what can we do more? and at what point in time is appropriate to notify the coumer? that is the trigger point. whenan say provide the information to the consumer that their information has been obtained by somebody else so they canrotect themselves? >> garett is laws on the

book about battle ready. by the time you aae notified with the damages done. mean the protections before the hacker starts. not after. civic the protections have to be there. of chip and pin can help with that. gerri: i hope in have been sued. we look forward to your hearing. thank you for coming on. to drop the ball? we don't know with more on this president and ceo of the national association of federal credit unions. you have been quite outspoken about your views. food you think is to blame it? >> it comes down t the retailer is not protecting the network.

not just the target and neiman-marcus is seems you will get a real outcry saying this has to be fixed. so far they have them lackadaisical but what are you prepared to do if it gets ugly? >> i was on the phone this afternoon with the congressman that his phone is ringing off the hook. i think we will. he will have a hearing and we appreciate those. the time is now. the american sumer needs to have the national standard to protect consume data just like credit unions. gerri: this is a really complicated string of transactions just for a simple credit card transaction. so what part of the transaction are they screwing up? gimmick they need to protect

their networks better. this is nothing new. a lot of these breaches will keep going on and you'll hear more than just six other retailers coming forward. they have to do a better job to protect consumers information into a plot up a better fireball. they have that technology and they can do that. gerri: y hve to reassure cards, bank of america, a jpmorgan chase thomas to the group, i assume that is a cost to the bank? >> yes. we have to reissue cards to protect the consumer for credit unions that want to protect their account information and personal information so sometimes a new card is the best way to do that. that could cost anywhere between five or $10 per account the plastic cost

many the postage, aprinting and the labor. gerri: who would pay for the of chip and pin technology? >> the retailers as well as the financial institution. other retailers claim we ought to go to chip and pin but those who don't want to invest to change their terminal. gerri: are you willing to pay your part? >> they are moving foul play. gerri: and should just be faster. is industry agreement 2015 lie not this year? >> it should move sooner i agree. gerri: thank you for your time. what do you think it? our retailers pay lip service?
