It is simple enough these days for criminals to "clone" credit cards using card readers. The only way to get the corresponding security code would be if they had physical control of the card and could see it. For these reasons you should NEVER let your credit card out of your sight when paying for something.
Most cards are cloned when people innocently withdraw cash from an ATM. ATMs are compromised by having a false cover placed over the card slot which is equipped with a card strip-reader. A pin hole camera is then placed strategically above the ATM keypad to enable the criminals to record the user entering his/her PIN. To prevent this happening you should ALWAYS cover the keypad (I always place my wallet over my hand when entering my PIN).
Simple common sense security precautions like those listed above should help stop criminals getting the necessary data to create a fake credit card using your details.
