I am curious about the credit card authorization process. What is the _minimum_
amount of personal information a fradulent individual or organization would need
to know in order to fradulently charge to a victim's credit card account? Is it
_possible_ for someone to make a charge on someone's credit card account if
they only knew their credit card number? Thanks.

You also need to know the expiration date and cardholder's name.
