If you don't keep your CC info on your account, are you still vulnerable?

 

I only would use it to buy something. Then immediately after the DL'd process, I would then delete the info off of my account.

Ah, fuck it.

 

My CC is maxed out anyways.

I know everyone is freaking out, but by regulations set forth by the cc companies and feds, the 3 digit code can not be stored.

It sound like a hoax to me. It's like when someone once stole a great piece of art, then everyone said they had it and people made fakes and sold them to buyers, claiming it was the real piece. This sounds like the same thing. Claim to have the numbers and sell them to people who believe you. Make a ton of money and give them nothing but fakes.

So does anyone know how the PSN works after entering CC number? Is it gone after you delete it? Or is it permanently stored after you entered it?

I assume if you didn't delete it it's still there.

If you choose not to store it you have to enter it each time... so it is deleted

That is what I usually do anytime I buy something online. Whether it is PSN or Newegg, I always manually put in my CC info.

[IRISH BULL]

OK, good.

 

I wasn't sure if it stored somewhere else in the PSN system. So I'm good to go. I always did that since the beginning.

Shane, If I run your card on my credit card processing machine, i dont need to put the 3 digit code in if I put in that the card is NOT present. Only if the card is present. Give me your numbers, ill show you hahahah!

[shane]

I did not say a cc could not be run withouth the ccv code... that is more for online transactions... but just that they are not stored.

And the PSN drama continues..............

Not really worried. Do they even have credit cards that don't have fraud protection anymore? 2 of my cc #'s were stolen within 2 months of eachother from vacations, and 1 phone call and they were taken care of. Plus I use a card with a $500 max for PS stuff.

Also, if your cc info gets used you should buy a lotto ticket seeing as the odds are 1 in 77 million of them using your cc.

Depending on the depth of the "hack" They could have any credit card number ever used on the PSN system. By getting the accounting systems charge report for each major card company, they would not only have your card number but a previous authentication number from the CC company.

This is only one of the reasons I have never used my CC for online purchases. I use PSN gift cards and nothing else, when using the PSN. For other things like e-bay and online stores I use PayPal. If my PSN info was taken then the guy that got it is fully entitled to the $4.12 that was in my “walletâ€. He / She must need it far more then I do.
