Two things:
1) I use my CC online for all my purchases. If I'm purchasing from any vendor I don't 100% trust, I can receive a temporary CC# from my bank (Bank of America) and use that without worry. You can also set a maximum limit, so my purchase is going to be say $125 and I set the temp limit to $135.

2) CC#s are often stolen by keyloggers that are *installed on your own computer*. There are so many different ways keyloggers are getting on our computers now and it takes a combination of protection methods to protect against them. I suggest Kaspersky as a primary defense.
