Can't they trace it back to you since you're using a card to get that prompt?

In my country, we can buy pre-paid credit cards in the supermarket using cash. I guess that is still traceable using supermarket security cameras and facial recognition, but if you're attempting this, I'd make it as difficult as possible.

You just have to buy a prepaid card through another third party

Prepaid VISA gift card purchased with cash.

Are there still places you can buy those that you wouldn't be on camera and immediately trackable?

I'm not shitting on the idea, I'm just trying to make it as good as possible.

Paired with a hat or hoodie with IR LEDs.

This isn't even remotely viable. There's so much isolation and "cloud" shit that it wasn't viable from the start. It's just a joke.

Maybe. If they can identify which record was the last one changed and the last one changed its directly related to the one that made the change and the ended transaction statement successfully posted a transaction

If the SQL injection crashed that person's transaction there's little chance of finding the culprit
