I need to correct part of that reply.
The PINs for all debit card transactions are Triple-DES encrypted, NOT the rest.

Well that’s a different kettle of fish. Someone could forge a charge with just the card number.
And since PINs are 4 digits long, a random run would be able to ding 1 in every 10,000 cards.
