This is where the Tucson company is in BIG trouble with Visa & MasterCard. The contract that all merchants sign PROHIBIT the storing of the CVV2 (security) number. In addition they had no business storing credit card info in an unencrypted file on a Windows box (presumably) connected to the Internet.
I hope they are hung by the yardarm as an example!
