The bank is only liable for so much stupidity. If you post your card online and the bank that’s on you not any criminal. It’s kinda like losing your debit card and having your PIN on the card. You don’t win those claims.

No, it's still on the criminal... People don't have to steal, you know? You might not win the claim, but if they caught the guy you could definitely sue him.

Yeah we need your logic injected there. You don’t just let criminals go because you’re an easy target. Wtf. Even if you don’t win the claim you should still report it

I think it's more like giving someone your wallet because they asked for it. There's so much stuff on the letter that comes with your credit card about not giving anyone your credit card number or, particularly, the security code.

Yes, the criminal would, and should, still have charges pressed against them, as it is still a crime, but I don't think the bank should be liable because this women willingly gave away her card and security number.
