Had to replace my credit card again

I received a few SMS on credit card transactions last night at 3a.m. I managed to cancel the card right after that. I blame Sony for the credit card information leaks and below is an complaint email i sent to PlayStation@Network.

Contact Telephone number: XXXXXXX

I had to cancel my credit card yesterday because of a few fraud transactions attempts. The only suspicious transaction i did in recent months is purchasing the PSN account through my PS4.

As an IT professional, i can roughly tell how secure a system is when i am using it. Therefore I am strongly suspQect that your company does not take data security seriously and causing the leak of my credit card information.

My suggestion is if your company is NOT CAPABLE to keep customer's sensitive information secured, please do not ask for it at the first place. Use traditional methods or third party gateways(plenty of secured channels out there) for good. This is an honest suggestion and i wish your management can look into this seriously!
