I'm really pissed how that could happen. I hear it's very common now. How did they do it? My only clue is a hardware store chain where I used the mag strip reader, then they realized my card has the chip, so I had to use the other reader. I never used that before as this is a new card. This was last weekend. I only found out my numbers were stolen because Visa put a stop in the card on a purchase I tried earlier this week.
The card has a chip too so it's Achilles Heel is the mag strip I guess. I'm waiting now to get it replaced. I'm a little jumpy now to use my other credit card. I also use Apple Pay that was linked to the card that had the numbers stolen. I am under the belief that Apple Pay is much much more secure.
I might have to pay with cash more often now.
I'm curious if this happened to others and how it happens. Thanks.
