Yep, the day's getting better by the minute, here's a snippet.

"You can’t make this stuff up.

MCX, the retailer consortium behind Apple Pay competitor CurrentC, has already been hacked, according to an email sent out to those people who have signed up for, or downloaded, the CurrentC app.

“Within the last 36 hours, we learned that unauthorized third parties obtained the e-mail addresses of some of you,” the email reads.

A spokeswoman confirmed that the email is real.

MCX, which is a consortium of retailers including Walmart, Best Buy and CVS, say that no other information has been taken but that the investigation is continuing. The “unauthorized third parties” were able to access email addresses of people who were part of the the app’s private beta testing program as well as email addresses of people who simply signed up to access the app when it launches publicly.

It’s already been a bad week for MCX, after member companies CVS and Rite Aid banned Apple’s new Apple Pay payment technology from their stores."
