I've had my credit card compromised a few times, I fill out a form with my credit union telling them that I didn't make the charges, they cancel the card and send me a new one. For me it's a bit inconvenient since they don't have a branch anywhere near me so I have to get it mailed. Even with FedEx it takes a day or two. That's the extent of my grief. No worrying about my money in my account.
