The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Credit card data. Secure?Not on your life.
Everything needed to clone a non Chip & PIN credit card is sent between [insert many high street retailers names here] and the bank using unencrypted ASCII files sent via MODEM.
When things go wrong... and believe me they do. These files, often containing thousands of Track 2 records, are retrieved by minimum wage Support monkeys and zipped up and sent via Emails to the Credit Card Software Suppliers for analysis.
Fortunately all copies of these logs are always deleted after they have been transmited.
Honest.
