Well, that's a bummer for me. Despite my looks, I'm a 300 years old man that doesn't trust a lot of modern technology, more so given how many leaks, hacks and woopsies there's been, and that's why I use the Steam wallet cards to refill my funds. It's also the reason I don't buy from GOG or other stores, because they don't have them. Well, I guess this is the sign to finally get a pre-paid credit card. |
My impression is that if you don't save your payment details (credit card number etc.), the risk is much smaller - not that it's that great to start with, but not saving the details ought to leave much less room for stealing them. I've never saved my payment details, at least when that's been a feasible option (usually it is), and so far so good, I guess: 10+ years ago my bank called to inform me that something was off - no damage done, but I had to get a new (at the time debit) card, but other than that, absolutely no issues, and I'm kind of betting that it wasn't an online service that caused the issues.
Anyway, I'm not particularly trying to convince you - just wanting to offer this particular point of view. Feel free to do whatever you feel suits you best.
