Botnet of 20,000 point-of-sale machines

It seems like it is becoming more and more dangerous to use a credit or debit card anywhere. Despite being careful- I average two card compromises a year. My bank has always been great about catching and resolving them, but still- it’s scary. I’m trying to switch to using cash again for as much as I can. The biggest pain is gas pumps- they are all pre-pay, and without a card- you often have to wait in often long lines at the convenience store, twice if you actually overpay so you can fill-up. Maybe they will eventually add cash readers and change systems like self-serve store checkouts to them?
