Hi, Interested if anyone has some knowledge here.

 

 

 

I lost my wallet this morning. Was hoping that it might be handed in but then a few hours later I got 2FA texts - someone was trying to use my ANZ VISA Credit Card on "One NZ" (Previously Vodafone, I believe). The problem is that I cut the aerial on and literally shave off the CVC/CVV number off of my credit cards. So it can't be used for paywave and I can't see how it can be used online without the CVC number. I talked to ONE NZ and they swear that the CVC number is needed to make a purchase on their site.

 

So something doesn't add up. Is there a way around the CVC number? Did they brute-force guess it? Are OneNZ lying?

 

Any idea?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

s

This seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to, disproportionate to the actual risk that you're trying to avoid.  In over 40 years of using plastic cards I've never had a problem caused by loss or misuse of a physical card.  What's the problem that needs to be fixed here?
