While incredibly stupid, is this enough information to do actual harm? Don't you also need the CVS code?

- tortilla 16y agoCredit card numbers by themselves are no big deal, but this will haunt Blippy forever. I don't know how you can recover from a PR disaster like this.
- axod 16y agoSlightly melodramatic. No one will care tomorrow. We'll all be on to being outraged by something else.
- sbov 16y agoNot all online credit card processors require a CVS code. I don't know if you can try enough different expiration dates before it gets shutdown for fraud.
- lanstein 16y agoBeing pedantic, it's often called a CVV code, or a number of different acronyms, but none of them are CVS afaik.
- tghw 16y agoIn the US, it depends entirely on the merchant. They tell the CC processor how secure they want it to be. A lot of them only need the CC number and any expiration date in the future.
- jxcole 16y agoIn general, having the wrong CVV code will decrease the chance of the purchase going through, not stop the transaction completely. If you have, for example, the wrong CVV but the correct address and name, there is a good change the transaction will go through any way.
