Absolutely true.
My credit card number was used from Turkey this week. I have absolutely no idea which website was compromised. And I am pretty sure that whoever was compromised has no idea either.

Our conclusion was that Chase Manhattan had been compromised. That's kind of scary, really. They have to be spending serious money on security.
And yet you know that Chase and Citigroup are spending money on security in copious amounts. My heart breaks to think of all those guys getting paid not to know jack. (Or, just as probably, all those guys getting paid not to be able to shove jack through the corporate process.)
In my case the fact that the purchase was made from Turkey suggests that it was an online compromise.
