Is CVV enumeration legal?
No. Testing card data without authorization is illegal and is treated as payment card fraud; this guide is intended only for defensive and educational use.
How do merchants spot enumeration attempts?
Look for patterns such as many small failed authorization attempts across multiple cards from one device, IP range, or customer account, and escalate them to your fraud team.
Who is this guide for?
It is written for fraud-prevention analysts, compliance officers, customer-support leads, and trainers who need a shared vocabulary for card-not-present risk.
