Which credit card security action does this?
To display only the last four digits of a credit card number for security purposes, the appropriate action is to mask or hide the remaining digits. This is commonly done by replacing the sensitive portions with 'X' characters. This action is often referred to as 'X-Out', where most of the digits are replaced with 'X's, leaving only the last four digits visible. This ensures that while the credit card number is protected, enough information is provided for reference purposes.
The number of X'd out digits depends on the length of the credit card numbers. Ten digits are X'd out for credit cards that have 13 through 15 digits. Twelve digits are X'd out for credit cards that have 16 digits.
