Imagine how much easy money they make and ask yourself why they would put that at stake by using credit card details for fraudulent purchases. It just wouldn't be worth it.

If I was a con artist that wanted to get my hands on credit card details I would.. o well never mind I better not tell because you don't know who's reading here.
I didn't specifically accuse a 3rd party processor, or any specific adult site... I'm just airing out my thought process. When something like this happens, even I, a person who runs an adult network, will jump to such a conclusion - rightfully or wrongfully.

The idea that ANY company that accepts credit cards online somehow has more to lose via a breach than another company, is silly. No company wants this to happen ever... adult OR mainstream. It is just easier to assume the adult transaction is to blame for the breach, mentally - right or wrong.

It works against us, and it sucks. I was just stating the obvious...
