Historically, AOL has had a problem with customer security, due to thieves calling and fooling their overseas call center people into disclosing "forgotten" passwords.
The fact that AOL allows merchants to make charges against the payment account on file allows any thief who can hack AOL security to fraudulently charge consumer credit cards and checking accounts. Such fraudulent charges may be for intangible products (downloadable games or programs, for example), so that there is no shipping address tracable to the thief.
It may be that having ANY AOL account linked to a credit card or checking account is inherently risky. In that case, closing and blocking linked accounts would be necessary to close the security hole.
