If you have a cell phone, then put a CC into that phone to use at places like hotels, gas stations grocery etc as another step against CC fraud.

By “put a CC into that phone” do you mean Apple Pay (or the Android equivalent)? Or is there something else?

I use Apple Pay and haven’t suffered CC fraud in years. Knocking on wood…

OP here.

I added a CC to Apple Pay last August, when we replaced a defective iPad, because I opted to get additional Cloud storage for $0.99 per month. I didn't use Apple Pay for anything else. This CC was the one that was compromised.

On another note, even after getting a new email address and updating a lot of websites that I frequent, I'm still getting emails at the old (compromised) email address from these same websites, even after acknowledgments of changed email addresses.

In order to realize any additional protections Apple Pay might offer one has to use Apple Pay. Merely putting the card into Apple Pay does not suffice.

Though, as I found out a few months back, the latest generation of tap-to-pay credit cards, like Apple Pay, do not transmit the CC number, either.
