The case was surfaced 2 years later after that database got to a public filesharing server.

Seriously, get yourself a virtual visa card, use it for a month and get another one.
About a month ago someone tried to make a $1 charge to my CC online via paypal (a one time transaction).
I am enrolled in a service which automatically texts me when I use my CC online.
Needless to say I reported it immediately and put the kabosh on the thieves.
Sons of bitches....
