Hackers have hit the ATM databases for the machines you find in gas stations. They collect both pin and card number.

Any remote transaction requires the pin.

And falsified identification can still get a card to someone other than you.

The whole issue of forgery has been passed from government enforcement (against fake paper money) to the shoulders of the individual (who must now dispute the theft and say “it wasn’t me”).
