How do I prevent hackers from stealing my debit card information? (lemmy.world)

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?

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 the vendor has a data beach hackers can't use the card.
