PayPal has introduced the PayPal Kit for Non-Profits. More details in this PayPal Blog post by Glenn Lim. Lim writes "The kit contains an easy to install PayPal Donate Button and step-by-step instructions that are so simple, nearly anyone can enable their websites to accept donations in under one hour. To support this effort, PayPal is making a $50 donation to the first 1,000 501(C)(3) non-profit organizations that use the kit."

The Associated Press reports that "Personal information on about 650,000 customers of J.C. Penney and up to 100 other retailers could be compromised after a computer tape went missing. GE Money, which handles credit card operations for Penney and many other retailers, said Thursday night that the missing information includes Social Security numbers for about 150,000 people."
