The US does not require any PIN number to use credit card information, only debit cards, and even then most places can run debit cards as "credit" without needing the PIN. We have "security codes" that we have to give when ordering online, but those are always given at the same time you give credit card info so if one is taken, most likely both are.
Either way, the account info just has to be inserted into a card with a magnetic strip which hackers can easily do and then use your card at retailers locally without needing a PIN.
Also, if you give your name, email address, address, etc. hackers can do a lot of damage, so if that was really your info that was not a very smart thing to do.
