Fraud Alerts Silently Fail When Linked to Inactive Card Numbers
A cardholder's fraud alerts were routed to an old, inactive card number instead of the active account, letting unauthorized charges go undetected for months. When the fraud was finally reported, the issuer denied the dispute by wrongly assuming the cardholder had been aware of the activity all along. This shows how a silent alert-routing failure can defeat fraud protection entirely.
