While it complies with PCI standards, knowing first6+last4, plus contact information, you can be much more successful at phishing against the target.

First6 will give you ability to know the issuing bank of the card (so an email can be crafted to look like those banks emails). Plus last4 tends to be used by banks as a "hey, we know who you are!" when they send emails.
