However, what surprised me is many of these purchases (incl. those that were immediately reported to the biller by its cardholder for refunding) went through as 3D Secure.

These were $ 100 token packages so this should require a 3D secure verification. Of course this may differ depending on the issuing bank, for example with my bank I have it set so that an SMS verification is required with any online purchase over $ 25.

So how come these $ 100 packages went through as 3D secure if carded? All these cards were US and Canadian.
