Stolen credit cards.
Most Internet fraud is done through the use of stolen credit card information which is obtained in many ways, the simplest being copying information from retailers, either online or offline. There have been many cases of crackers obtaining huge quantities of credit card information from companies' databases. There have been cases of employees of companies that deal with millions of customers in which they were selling the credit card information to criminals.
Despite the claims of the credit card industry and various merchants, using credit cards for online purchases can be insecure and carry a certain risk. Even so called "secure transactions" are not fully secure, since the information needs to be decrypted to plain text in order to process it. This is one of the points where credit card information is typically stolen.
chroot will only address the application using it while other vulnerabilities is remain, if the system is running unpatched. If a chrooted program has a file handle open before the chroot call is invoked, that file handle remains open across the chroot and could potentially become a gateway out of the sandbox. Of course, that presumes that a vulnerability exists that can exploit the file handle.
