The cynic in me thinks they leaked names, addresses, and credit card numbers but not the CVV number. Without the CVV it's not technically possible to make charges, so it would not be a lie.

I think it's been clear since Equifax that private data can't be used to prove identity. I honestly wish the hacker behind that attack just gave away the entire dataset to the public. It would have stung a little at first, but it would have saved society a ton of time and money on the long run.

You can process charges without the cvv, but it costs your more to process them and is supposed to lower the risk.

Some big players like Amazon still process payments without the need of providing a cvv.
