I actually do think that was Bilt's fault. They wanted to be able to present a number immediately upon approval so customers could use these online right away and add them to their digital wallets. But the algorithm they used was either hacked or guessed or something and people seem to be able to replicate some part of it. Wells Fargo clearly has much, much more experience producing card numbers.
