Using your debit card online is generally not a good practice. In fact, you really shouldn't use your debit card at any establishment where it leaves your line of site. My "debit card" never leaves my wallet except when its being inserted into an ATM. Most people's debit cards are tied directly to their checking accounts. If someone gets their hands on your information, they can clean out your account. Yes, odds are you will get your money back from the bank, but you are without your money for X period of time.
If someone gets your credit card information then yes it sucks, but they aren't taking your money, they are taking the credit company's money.
