Yes, you do.

The Debit Card was used in a Credit transaction, so Visa's general protections still apply. You can dispute any of the transactions if they were done through credit (which online ones are nearly 100% of the time).



Had $3-4k stripped off a debit Visa while in Europe on holiday. Sent a list of fraudulent transactions to my bank and they had them sorted and refunded within an hour.

I'll be watching my card more closely after this Linode incident, but not cancelling it preemptively.


Ok, good to know. Even so - I could very easily miss £50-100 or so of fraudulent transactions each month so I'd rather just get a new card.
