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?

    Running a virus scan wouldn’t be enough

    No, those can be bypassed. If your kernel is what’s infected, then it’s probably not going to find anything either.

    Scanners are useful, but what they can look for is limited.
