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?

whose code you can audit

More like whose code is audited by someone or someones you choose to trust. Let's be honest here, average Joe isn't auditing shit.

You mean you don't read the billions of lines of code contained in all of the open source apps that you use? Shame, shame... :)
