    When I worked for a retailer and used to pull up back office reports, you can still see the card details on the receipt rolls and audit trails. It would contain the full PAN numnber (16 digit card number)

    how long ago was that? the current rules state that the retailer *must not* store the full PAN number for online transactions

    About 4 years ago I think. I think they are now obligated to star out all but the last 4 digits, but I'm not massively sure what the current position is.
    I know that TKMaxx lost quite a bit of personal data (45 million) I think, and that did include full card numbers.

    Well with WorldPay, even if a Customers Transaction does Decline for whatever reason they still appear on the Reports as "Declined" and the reason if possible.
