And make stolen credit card numbers even more valuable?

(I like where your head is at, fraud is just hard)

Stolen cards have long since been solved in many parts of the world with 3DS. Not sure why the US is still lagging behind on this.

3D Secure for those like me who didn't know the proper term, referring to an extra verification step from your bank e.g. SMS.

For some value of “solved”, yes. I live in 3DS-land myself, but since 3DS is not universal, credit card info is still at risk. I had a fraudulent purchase against my card recently. The bank returned the money, but at the moment, I am fighting a bill for import duty on the Gucci scarf the crook purchased on my card. :-/ I had no idea, until now, that they may charge €350 for a scarf.

Combine it with 2FA, such as TOTP or SMS.
