Ah damn, hopefully they refunded you the transactions? I spotted two dodgy transactions on my credit card and had to raise it with my bank. Luckily I got the money back but it’s concerning that they got through at all, without me having to authorise the transactions!
Scary they got through without you authorising though.
I’ve found:
Nationwide (bank not credit) trigger happy on blocking card which can be a pain sometimes buy saved me this time.
My asda credit card I’ve been caught before and had to claim it back which wasn’t fun and lots of hoops to jump through.
I’d tell you how my marks and spencers credit card was buy I don’t use the bloody thing. The android app refuses to run as I have a FOSS keyboard so never bothered to even put the thing in my wallet and register it.
Just some friendly advice: Consider changing your card’s bank’s password.
Years ago I had my Barclaycard account compromised, someone disabled paper statements, changed my password and bought loads of toys.
I pay my card manually monthly and couldn’t log in (I use keepass, so I knew it was the correct password)… phoned Barclaycard and got transferrd to their fraud dept. they asked a few questions to verify me and then were really good and going back through all the stuff I’d not bought.
As they’d obviously gained access to my account details, not just cloning the card, I changed all my banking passwords and put alerts on transactions larger than I normally spend.
We have 2FA nowadays, but still, I don’t trust the website security and I definitely don’t use banking apps.

Yeah. All sorted thankfully.
