I've had my CC hacked several times and it's always for a some small amount of money...usually less than a hundred bucks. I don't get it...why risk getting busted for chump change. Go big, or go home.
I have chip cards now, and I'm hoping they'll be at least a little safer than the old ones. Unfortunately, I mostly use my CCs for on-line purchases so I'm probably still vulnerable to being hacked.

Typically, CC theives will "test" your card by using it for a small, innoccuous purchase to see if it works, or if it gets turned off right away. If they get that small sale through without a hitch, then they try for the bigger hit.
