Not only that, it is illegal for them to keep a copy of the CCV/CVV in any format... The whole concept of the number was to have something that cannot (read: should not) be stored in any database, so it cannot be retrieved via a hack...
They should need the code only once to verify the card - once they know that the card is valid for the account, the code should not be need any longer... Actually, even more interesting is the fact that I've been a customer for a few years now, and they did not make any statement in a mailing that these changes were going to be required for all accounts... I only saw that once I saw it on the web site... Kris Wilson Pickett wrote: > On 4/29/06, Robert Webb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I agree with you completely.
