Yes! While it is true that merchants that store magnetic stripe data are the most vulnerable, there are a number of other risks. For example, missing or outdated security patches, using vendor supplied default settings and passwords, SQL injections by hackers, unnecessary and vulnerable services on your servers, stolen receipts, stolen computers, employee theft, and skimming can all lead to significant data compromises and subject you to audits, card replacement costs, and fines.
I don't store magnetic stripe data. Can I still have a data compromise?
