In a world where NORAD and every major bank has been hacked, the 
question of whether one can store CC info safely may vary depending on 
definitions of what constitutes "Safe", but is ultimately "no".

Arguably a more prudent question is "Who do I want to be liable when the 
server is hacked?"

For myself, I never store CC info on anything I control.  I partner with 
firms who specialize in such systems, and let them assume the liability.
