Comment on Google experiencing billing notification issue

Comments

Got multiple emails for a GSuite account. Was surprised to get the mails. Went in and updated the CVC code which for some reason had been cleared.

CVC codes are not allowed to be stored, ever.

There are many things which are not allowed. Trusting someone who mines all your data to not store one particular piece of this data is a bit naive.

It's a PCI compliance issue; Google would lose the ability to charge credit cards.

No, they simply could. Which is likely enough to get compliance from Google. (but regularly not, from other firms)

Bit like saying if a bank laundered money for the cartel and spookies they wouldn't be allowed to be a bank anymore.

That's how it's meant to work. Google, HSBC, et al are not like me and you. They've paid vast sums to ensure it.
