I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

Never, ever, ever, ever volunteer personal information, for any reason, on a call you did not initiate, with a number you haven't verified from a trusted source, like a brick and mortar branch, or your online banking account.

He said someone in the bank's supply chain was compromised, as they knew a lot of details that should have been known only to the bank. Also that the only information he gave away were the last digits of a card number.

No, he gave away the last seven.
