    Firstly to psychically protect your debit card dont use it at sketchy places. Where I live we have ass holes who put skimmers on card readers to steal card info. The best way to beat them..... Dont use any ATM outside the ones at the Bank your card was issued. Also things like Google Pay and Apple Pay can also help protect your card as physical retailers and sometimes online. I choose to use Paypal when buying online, they act as middle man to make sure your card details are not given to the retailer. 
     
    As far as steam is concerned, do they not have Steam Gift cards in India? OR do they have prepaid Visa/Master card cards? The prepaid cards work in the US, and you can buy credit to put on your steam wallet and purchase games that way. While these cards dont work for everything such as Subscription services, they can work for buying stuff. 
     
    Also what kind of protections does your bank provide? Here in the US banks are pretty proactive when it comes to people stealing money. My bank TCF has no issue turning a debit card off and contacting the account holder if they believe charges are fraudulent. Also Card issues like Visa and Mastercard also provide protections. Do you guys use the Chip system? Is is it purely magnetic strip? OH if your card has RFID, it might be best to cover it in aluminum foil when not in use, this stops people from stealing info from in your pocket. Like I said, card fraud is an issue here in the US, you have to be proactive about stopping it.

    The majors dont give a fuck, that is why it took so long for the mag stripe to be superseded. With a tap function that can be easily copied. The good thing is with that is that after a certain amount, its required to use the chip and pin.

    There are a few things on the card.
     
    The old skool magnetic strip, easily copied.
     
    The Touch Pay where you just touch the card on the pinpad device, which can be copied if you can get close to it, there are products that block the signal where you slip your card in, or wallets too have blocking material.
     
    Thirdly is the chip itself, havent heard any stories of that being hacked or copied, yet.
     
    Of course the easy part is getting the pin digits. Common for thieves to put up false fronts on atm's, false covers over pinpads, a device on the serial line, hidden camera's, in the USA it is common for hardened crooks to kidnap and get the pin # from victim.

    That would be breaking the law, we dont help people break laws here at Linus Tech Tips. Similarly with downloading music and hackintosh. There is a reason why India has banned Privacy.com
    It is all too common for countries to do that, and yes have to obey the laws of the land, even though you may think they are silly or lame or absurd.
