This is why on steam I don’t store my credit card information, nor on basically any other site that I can get away with it.
Yeah it is a pain in the ass for the times I want to buy something, having to put it the card details every single time, but it’s worth my peace of mind if a breach happens. By this point I have memorized my card numbers so it’s not too awful of a pendantic habit now.
Most banks will offer virtual cards. You can use those instead of your actual card number, and if they get stolen you just cancel that virtual card, but your account is untouched.
I only use those for short term and set them to expire after a month or however long I need them for on that site. Great way to make sure I don't auto renew anything and if it gets stolen it's already expired. As long as it's a credit card even if there is fraud they pay you back instantly. Never ever store a debit card anywhere.
