Comment on How do I prevent hackers from stealing my debit card information?

As noted elsewhere, do everything you can to avoid handing your card to anyone.
For online purchases, do everything you can to avoid giving your card number to anyone - use ApplePay / GooglePay / Amazon Pay / PayPal etc. wherever possible. These can be used to put charges on your card without giving your card # to the merchant. These are one-time authorizations (unless you explicitly identify it as a subscription / recurring charge), so they can’t reuse the transaction token they get.

Privacy.com is really good for online payments that don’t accept apple/Google pay. It creates a virtual credit card that’s locked to that particular vendor so even if they have a data beach hackers can’t use the card.
