#2Edit: it is sad that my comment that is relevant and contains nothing but facts is downvoted... What has HN become?
Say what you want about Bitcoin, but it does solve credit card theft for good. If I could use my Bitcoin hardware wallet¹ to pay Sonic, I wouldn't be affected by this security breach.
¹ No Bitcoin theft has ever occurred on a hardware wallet thanks to their tamper proof isolation of private keys.

If someone else uses my cc, I’m not paying it. If someone steals my bitcoins, they’re fucking GONE.

Wrong. In the US you may be liable for the full amount stolen if you fail to notice the theft in 30 days. Even if you report the theft promptly, the law allows your issuer to make you liable for the first $50.
Also you completely ignored my point about hardware wallets making theft a non-problem.

Pretty much this. Bitcoins are like carrying around cash. Most folks will not argue that you own it, since it's in your pocket, but if someone picks your pocket in a crown then there's no way you're getting it back.

If someone steals my wallet with my cash, its GONE.

#8Maybe I'm a little ignorant on how/why companies store this sort of info. Someone at work informed me that Target storing CC numbers at least made sense when you needed to make a return. But at a Sonic Drive-In? I'm not returning my burger+shake combo.
What is possessing Sonic to keep the number any longer than the period it takes to receive money from the CC company? And why is this period any longer than the 20 or so seconds it takes to process the card at a machine? Are all of these magnetic-only or do they store CC numbers with chip cards as well?

But if someone steals your credit card and buys $10,000 worth of stuff, you're probably getting that money back.
