A breech has occurred when they send you a new credit card with a new number; the old card has not yet expired. I assume everyone has seen this at least once. I have seen it multiple times AND have few credit cards.
Of course, the breech was rarely reported.
This can be done with credit card numbers. This is not routinely possible with social security numbers. Just another reason why we still have near zero identity protection.
