The best advice we can give for individuals to minimise the impact of credit-card theft is keep one credit card exclusively for use on-line. Set a low limit and monitor your statements closely.

If your business involves peoples personal data take your security seriously and contract external security experts (it is not reasonable any more to say 'I thought my IT guys took care of it'). Contact us if you need help.
