Are the same numbers always starred out on a person's receipt or does it vary by transaction? Is it possible to piece together the numbers? But then how would you get postal code? Listed telephone number and real name?

Toronto is big, so lets use it for example google it for postal codes and you get this http://www.mongabay.com/igapo/toronto_zip_codes.htm and lets take a found reciept.
so a hacker would use postal code list as the "password" to gain entry. With an attack on the sdm site each postal code would only have to be hit 999 time. Even with the big Toronto postal code list this would take a program little time
Yes thats another great point, would be forever to go through it manually, but with computer programs, minuets.
and yes that could be another possibility, the list just keeps on growing... but I wouldnt be blaming shoppers :l
omg just realized... the numbers starred out do varry.... i just looked at old receipts and shockingly some give out your full number... no stars o_o
i got a full ziplock of receipts.... now going through them ... ill let you know how many i have that give full number and how many do not.
