My wife and I keep getting our debit cards stolen online. We notice the charges and are able to dispute them and cancel our cards, but it sure is annoying.
We don’t put our card information on suspicious websites. They’re on well known websites like amazon and Facebook.
We ran out emails through a data breach checker and it found nothing.
I don’t think there’s any malware on our devices.
Any idea what could be happening and how to prevent it?
Our last card was stolen by someone in great Britain. We’re in the USA. I don’t think they’re being stolen by someone locally unless our information is being sold on the dark web.
The card thief won’t use it, they will sell them to someone else. Which will certainly sell it to another person.
Credit card numbers go for something as low as a few bucks a number. I think last time I was rolling around the dark net markets they were $4.
It’s quick and easy to steal. They collect a bunch and sell them and the other people take the risk of using them.
