My credit card was compromised back in March and was notified by my card's Fraud Department. Lucky that the 5 charges were very small and amounted to approximately $65 total. Guess the idiot that got ahold of the information loved take out chicken in Atlanta Georgia. My friend, a month later was also notified by his card's fraud department. His card was hit for $1500 at Best Buy, out of state.

We both got replacement cards and were not charged for these purchases.

I would suggest that everyone use their Debit Cards very carefully cause the protections are not as good as on the credit cards and your accounts could get cleaned out very quickly and take a long time to have the money put back in, if at all.
