Amid other reports of substantial suspicious contributions to the record-breaking Obama campaign fund, it is discovered that there are no basic security restrictions to making credit card donations through Obama’s web site. That is, the name and address don’t have to match the billing statement, making it much easier to commit credit card fraud and much tougher* for the Obama campaign and FEC to screen for illegal donations. It’s all well and good to suggest that Obama is not responsible for the actions of mischievous law breaking donors, but shouldn’t he at least be making it difficult for them?
( * One suspects the level of “toughness” of the current donation policing regime makes a mockery of the concept of toughness.)
UPDATE: Apparently this security hole is now plugged.
