Today we talk with Paul Asjes, a developer advocate at Stripe.  We get some insight into creating a more secure site for credit card transactions.  We also discuss card testing, or account stealing, techniques that are used to gain access to active credits cards.  This topic is very important because it can have big financial consequences, and if serious enough, could cause a business to close.  Paul gives us some techniques and strategies to discourage and prevent this activity.
