Many banks and card issuers now let you create a virtual card number with a spending limit, linked to your real account. If the merchant gets breached or charges you again without permission, you delete that number. Simple, cheap protection.

Didn’t know my bank did this. Just set one up.

Strongly recommend. Note that disputes still go through your main card issuer, so keep the same records.
