Card fraud involves huge amounts of money.  The threats are various,  
from sophisticated criminal gangs to dozy louts who steal and sell  
cards.

Why do card providers and banks continue to make such a terrible mess  
of online systems?  It's not as if they don't have the money to spend  
on it.

When Nationwide had a data-loss they should have made serious changes.  
  The only things I noticed was a pages asking me to provide more  
answers to "security questions", because they'd be asking "security  
questions" more often in future.
