Payment networks are two-sided. We can't control the merchant half of the interaction 😓 In attacks like these, perpetrators will often use merchants with poor fraud checks to identify real card numbers
A PAN attack uses automated systems to quickly test many potential card numbers in hopes that some will succeed. Basically, they're throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks 🚫
These declines don't indicate any illicit access to user data, but rather perpetrators from from outside are trying to guess card numbers in a brute-force PAN enumeration attack
Our new Card Issuing API is now live ✨ A developer-first product that makes it easier and faster to create debit cards on the fly. We believe transparent pricing and simple APIs can unlock creativity and innovation.

One more reason to sign up for a (free!) Privacy account and shop with cards that lock to a merchant, have a set spending limit, and can be closed or paused at any time.
Credit cards stolen from e-retailers have long sold for less than half the price of those pilfered from hacked brick-and-mortar stores. But new data suggests those prices have equalized, and crooks now have more incentive than ever to target online stores
