Credit Card Compromised

Apparently my major credit card was compromised and used for a $100 online charge. Account has been closed and I'll receive my new card in a few days. Do I really need to change all passwords on accounts that are linked to my card? (Netflix, Amazon, Uber, etc., etc.)

Thank you.


No. Assuming by linked is that you pay those accounts using that credit card.


According to that haveIbeenpwned site, MasterCard were hacked twice earlier this year and confidential details compromised including email, address, passwords etc. The site recommends changing everything.

(I'm in the process)


You will have a new card number, CVV number and expiration date, so you may need to change the account information where you've preauthorized payments.
