Are you sure that you use your card only on ubuntu 9.04 with guardog
firewall set to default settings  ? Are you confident that you have
never used your card on an Cash Machine / Machine at a shop etc .

One more thing where did you do your online shopping  ? That site
could have been a already compromised or phised site . Are you sure
that the online shopping site is reliable ( I would trust amazon
,ebay but still use mostly paypal ) .
Are you sure that your data went on an encrypted channel I mean when
you were doing your online shopping , did you see a small lock sign on
the right hand bottom of your browser ?

If it is a good seller and you have some firewall and also if you have
sent your card details on encrypted channel .. as far as my knowledge
goes , the guy who did that must be pretty clever :D
