Banks refuse to fully close compromised accounts after repeated fraud
When credit card accounts suffer repeated fraudulent charges, banks issue replacement card numbers rather than closing and reopening the underlying account, leaving the attack vector open. Banks also hold customers liable for fraud despite contradictory evidence such as IP address and shipping mismatches. Consumers have no mechanism to compel full account replacement when card reissuance has demonstrably failed.

Bank fraud reports not tracked across customer service calls

Banks Acknowledge Fraud but Refuse Reimbursement by Hiding Behind Security Closure Policy
