Sadly, I think the only one who's going to benefit here are credit card companies. I can almost picture the "Theives are getting more sophisticated, we're getting more sophisticated than them with the new nano-carbon unobtanium mastercard" commercials. I've had my card number fraudulently used twice via what I thought were reasonably safe websites with large volumes, SSL, etc. I've also had my card company call me a dozen times when I've bought large gifts or spent a few hundred dollars at a few stores in a row running errands a mile from home on a saturday morning. Perhaps some effort should be made towards better detecting true fraud at scale (i.e, "get rich quick" dvd's being purchased by a few hundred of your consumers in a short time) rather than what would be a typical IT dork's every so often spending spree before a holiday.
