Shouldn't this be easy to detect, though? Every attempt to use a credit card number online involves a request to the bank providing that card to determine if it's valid, right? So the bank would see thousands of attempts across hundreds of websites for the same card number in a matter of seconds, which is clearly impossible for a human, and flag the card as "stolen".

Or maybe I'm just way too optimistic about how this all works.
