Which is basically any website these days.
You never know when even the biggest names in online retailers are going to store your credit card information ... and then 'oopsie' get hacked or leak the data.
It may not even be the website that leaks the data. It could be the payment processor they use that has a data breach.
Exactly. Just look up news about data leaks. They are basically happening constantly.
