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

Famous quotes containing the words compromised and/or accounts:
“He had kind eyes and hands
and was a friend of sorrow.
Thus they were married.
After all he had compromised her.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“We must love one another, yes, yes, that’s all true enough, but nothing says we have to like each other. It may be the very recognition of all men as our brothers that accounts for the sibling rivalry, and even enmity, we have toward so many of them.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
