The latter I bolded is for the most part fine as major credit card companies require a certain process for cc encryption keeping customer data with any pay service through merchant account.
Reason I know is because I've built online stores for private businesses. You'll occasionally read these stories of hackers stealing people's account information, but the reason it's of any use to them is because the moron System Administrator(s) had the data stored unencrypted. An actual merchant service no-no.
You can easily lose your payment processing privileges for purposely not following encrypted protocol the cc companies laid out.
