How did that happen?

Non of my credit cards have any RFID chips. So if the card is not swiped or inserted into the card reader, they can't do anything.

My cell phone in theory can be hacked as evidenced by the constant updates Apple put out for phone operating system. I am currently in iOS 14.4.2 and it was yet another security update installed yesterday.

I figure I will keep my phone on the newest update there is, and not worry about it. My credit card company always makes it right when the thieves somehow get the number, likely from some web based business I use the card with.
