My wifes identity was stolen in the past year and she was issued 10's of fraudulent credit cards, new bank accounts, new cars, she even went to the hospital apparently. Well the crook did at least. The thief also deemed it easy enough to walk into the dmv and get an official drivers license complete with her picture and my wifes information. You would think the DMV is secure, it's not, you would think Wells Fargo is secure, it's not. Like Scott points out there are lots of holes in the systems and we should all be held accountable. If your building a website you should definitely take into consideration situations like mine and make sure your server is PCI compliant. As far as I understand that's the most common guidelines for creating secure transactions. Important to note, compliance takes time to bring to life so hiring a person like Scott is worth the money.
