I thought Apple Pay was an added form of protection. In one day two cards were hacked. Help?

No, your credit card number was skimmed or shimmed. Skimming is when you swipe your card and the magnetic data is captured by a device called a skimmer. Fraudulent actors then enter the data online or create a fraudulent card (fake) with your data. A shimmer is similar, but captures data off the chip.
Please contact your credit card servicer by call the phone number on the back of the compromised card. When calling ask for the fraud department.
What exactly was the source of the funds, Apple Cash or another debit or credit card?
Apple cash
Who did you report the charges to? What do you mean by >until it was figured out like a bank would’ve done<?
No and if I did before it was probably two yrs ago before I added my debit card to my wallet
Ok thank you
You’re welcome.
Your Apple Wallet is never charged, it is a passthrough for credit and debit cards. But the wallet itself is never involved it a transaction. Payment methods you have in your Apple wallet can be defrauded, but that does not mean the wallet had anything to do with the transaction. A credit or debit card can be compromised in many ways, but not through Apple Wallet.
Apple Pay has been hacked, what to do?
