alt Hacker News>Claude knows how to make fake credit cards now
If by "fake" you mean ones that pass number validation on web sites, that's easy. I wrote python code to check and generate valid numbers back in the '90s; it's a simple, well known check digit algorithm appended at the end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm.

No I mean ones that are actually connected to Visa's network and you get an API call from Visa when someone uses them.
Anytime a company pisses me off I set up a while loop to generate Luhn-compliant 16-digit numbers and spam them on every html form on the site.
