Good thing we've got memory cards that last forever.
You might want to read up on how permanent solid state media is because it's definitely not forever. On the bright side, and more importantly, I've got an excuse to post this picture again.

Link please. Or is this just speculation?
Actually I was having a moment of total stupidity and thinking they could store a hash of the data and not need to retrieve the originals, but that doesn't work at all. That said, I'm pretty sure they're still doing it wrong if that (encrypted) data was even readable? I imagine their concern is that the decryption keys may have been obtained as well, but surely that key and the encrypted data could both be held on a separate server that performs the purchase transactions, and which is well and truly firewalled off for any unnecessary read access so that no other machine can actually obtain the credit card data. I'm speculating again, though -- I don't know any details of their set-up, and it's a long time since I did any reading about this sort of thing in any case. Perhaps the data is actually still secure, and the reported instances of fraud are merely statistical likelihoods given the sheer quantity of people concerned.

Coming from you that's hilarious, especially since it makes no goddamn sense.
