One does not exclude the other. I do agree that AX would have noticed a disproportional increase in fraud on the SPG cards and for an exploit that is 4 years old, there is no point in saving PCI for later use - most early cards would be expired by now. Of course, if it took longer to get the keys - maybe access to PCI is more recent.

Anyhow - how did you come up with RDP on old windows systems? I haven't seen that - did I miss anything?
