I mean, my phone has all sorts of private and confidential information and is regularly in hostile environments where attackers might get physical access to it. Kinda want the best, most hardened security posture.

My Playstation sits in my living room and has my gaming history and access to my games...

    It could also have your credit card info if you've set it up for the store. Which I imagine most people do, since many games don't even get physical copies made anymore.

    Ive worked with ecommerce enough to not store my card anywhere. Also pretty sure they'd store it in the cloud so could max it out in the store and I could claim the fraud.

    But if your in my living room thinking, I'm going to sit down and hack his Playstation to get his credit card... Don't know man, seems there's better plans.

    Not storing it is not necessarily enough to protect you either, though. If their servers get compromised, it's very easy for them to send that data elsewhere instead of/in addition to working normally.
