Credit card hacking as become a big thing in our society today. At least 45.7 million credit and debit card numbers have been stolen this year. Hackers hack into main store computers and steal the data of the credit cards allowing them to make use of the cards. Restaurants are at the highest risk where your personal information can be taken from. Many people don't know its against the law for any credit card machine to print more then five digits of anyones credit card number or the cards expiration date on receipts, even the one kept by the store.
It's a scary thing to think it is so easy for someone to steal your credit card number. It makes you weary on charging things. Remember the time when plastic was safer then cash because of robbery. But now you have to worry about hackers getting your credit cards. Stores are taking higher security actions toward this crisis, but the risks are still high.
