Compromised Accounts
Card account information is stored in a number of formats. Account numbers – formally the Primary Account Number (PAN) – are often embossed or imprinted on the card, and a magnetic stripe on the back contains the data in machine readable format. Fields can vary, but the most common include:
- Name of card holder
- Account number
- Expiration date
- Verification/CVV code
