When the opening of the terminal body has been detected, the card payment transaction terminal stores information of an illegal act that has been performed in a memory, and transmits transmission information including that information to an external computer. When the external computer has received card information from the card payment transaction terminal after having stored the received transmission information in a transmission information table, the external computer stores the card information in a handled card information table in relation to the stored transmission information.
