Credit card information stored in any company, big or small, is still very precarious as evident in the cyber-theft from Target late last year. It was done by just a small-time Ukrainian with less-sophisticated malware. The malware was detected 2 days before cyber-thief could transfer 11-GB information out of Target servers. However, due to turf fight, Target did not do anything. Now, you can spend from $6 (for gift card) to $200 (American Express Platinum) for the stolen credit card information inwww.rescator.so (though a login is required) issued in your local area. (So, you can "enjoy" a binge shopping probably within 6 hours before banks raise red flags.)
