I had a similar occurrence. The CBA ‘phoned me saying that some “Family Tree” organisation in the USA has tried to debit our CC for $40.00 so the card was immediately cancelled. It seems that in this crime scenario, they go fishing for small amounts and if they get away with it, they’ll start hitting you for larger and larger amounts.
I would imagine that your number was obtained from poor data handling practices at an overseas supplier, a dishonest employee, bank stuff ups (a US bank once lost storage media containing 3,500,00 CC transaction details) rather than someone breaking into your computer? Just guessing here.
