I never use my Debit card except to make deposits at their ATMs...so don't know if that's a card I have to worry about. As far as online purchases I use the BofA Shopsafe feature they offer at no charge. It's connected to the BofA Visa card but my real card account number is never used online. If you use the Shopsafe feature you pay with a separate different account number (which BofA provides) to whatever website you're buying from and you post only the amount needed for that purchase (so you're in control of your $$$$)...I use it all the time when I'm buying anything online....I think there are other banks that provide this type of service/protection for their customers....just thought I'd share that info....
Unfortunately that shopsafe wouldn't help you in this case- the banks credit card #'s were breached - many banks. Supposedly the banks are to be contacting potential customers with a problem - but so far, don't know anyone contacted, but as we can see here - we know people it's happened to.
