Credit card numbers are still available to the people in an office even with an up to date computer billing system. Thieves put skimmers in gas pumps that record your debit/credit card info, anyone you pay with a debit/credit card can take your information when you make a purchase so no system is totally safe. I've had fraudulent charges on my debit and credit cards a number of times.
