Consumer concerns about about information theft, data breaches and web-based attacks have caused a drop in online commerce activity.
From the article:
"If you look at the regulators like the banking regulators and the credit card associations, they are two years behind the curve," she said. "They finally responded with PCI and FFIEC, and it is definitely improving the security situation, but if they had done this two years ago it would have been in time to prevent this loss."

As pointed out by Adam at Emergent Chaos:
The company said that the 59 identified incidents -- 57 at Seisint and two in other LexisNexis units -- largely related to the misappropriation by third parties of IDs and passwords of legitimate customers and stressed that neither LexisNexis nor the Seisint technology infrastructure was breached by hackers.
So, essentially, if LexisNexis had been using strong authentication for their customers, none of this would have happened.
