Given the relative accessibility of stolen credit card info, isn't the CC-as-ID requirement easy for a criminal to bypass?
- Nextgrid 1y agoIt's easy yes, but better than nothing. The verification requirements are a balance between desired conversion rate, probability of loss (how many bad guys want to exploit your system without paying) and the actual costs of said loss (in this case it's all bullshit "bandwidth" charges, so no actual loss to AWS).
