"This data, known as “CVVs” in the cybercrime underground, is sold in packages for about $15 to $20 per record"

Would it be terribly complicated to make single use credit cards? Like if you have an app from your bank (which they push on you these days, anyways), you could generate a new virtual credit card for every transaction?

Revolut has a feature that does exactly this, and it works great! It's the sole reason I have a Revolut account. I know my usual bank used to do this as well, but they stopped some time ago unfortunately.

Lots of banks already have that service. My bank has had it so long it used to be a Flash applet. You can generate card numbers with a specified expiration date and usage limit.
