The main thing I changed after the fifth time my number was use by someone else was I build a computer specific for doing online ordering and banking. I don't download anything onto it other than Window updates and Internet Security Protection updates, and also the web pages I go on only the ones I've tried and test. The first thing I do before I order anything is I do an updates check and then I do a quick scan and lastly I type the http;\ into the Browser I don't go via Favorites links and I haven't had any problems with my CC been use illegally.
Just be careful where you use your credit card and that your on the right web site.  |
Umm thanks FC. My mother had her CC information stolen and she had never bought anything online anywhere.
My guess is she had her CC information stolen when she used the card to pay in the real world. Perhaps when paying a meal in a cafe or eatery.
So even not buying anything online is no guarantee
