Why would a company ever ever ever accept 6 digits of a credit card number as a way to authenticate an identity??

Credit card numbers are not secure. Therefore, they should not ever be accepted as authentication. Especially only 6 digits of it! This is by far the most shocking part of this story. As if I needed another reason to despise GoDaddy.

[Edited to add] I would sure love to see a scarlet letter list of companies which allow such practices, so I can never use them.
