It's one of the reasons why I like paying CASH for everything. I have a debit card but only use it at my bank's ATM to withdraw CASH and then go from there.

At this point it's about damage control. If the bad guys want your information, they'll have it. Just read your statements carefully, check your credit record and report funny business ASAP.
