The quote doesn't have anything to do with shame. Not sure how you read into that...
The message is simply that any information on the Internet is subject to the risk of exposure. We use credit cards knowing that the risk is very low - but we all know its possible your credit card number will be intercepted, misused, etc. This is a fact, not a question of morality.
cc companies accept the risk of fraud, you (theoretically) have little legal risk.
