How to start a new week in the bad way

As every other day, I logged  into my home banking account to see my statements and pay a couple of bills (aaarggh!)
With immense surprise, I discovered that yesterday at 1pm CET, someone used my credit card to shop on the internet.
How nice!
€ 690,01 (note the cent please!)  spent on Creative Europe online store.





Now, we have all kind of protections  here in Italy,  to shop online, I need   CC number, CVVS,  expiry date 1st and 2nd name, and in most cases the billing address,
Plus, we have another userid (a 10 digit alphanumeric)  and another password not shorter than 8 characters specifically created for online shopping.
Now, I have my CC  with me all the time,  there aren't passwords saved on my PC and I have all the anti-viruses, anti-spyware, anti-whatever  software  always up to date.
How in the hell  it can happen?
Just for the record, I blocked the credit card  changed all my passwords, and contacted police  about this matter.
Today it's holiday in UK/Ireland, but I also contacted  Creative Labs and awaiting a reply.
This week  did not start right.. no  no..
