This is best described as a BKAC (Between Keyboard And Chair) problem. Any respectable Internet services will
never ask for a credit card number directly on a public network. Second to that, the internet service is

Edit: Oh, and this is not called "hacking" per se. It's pure fraud.
The only hacking occur when your "friend" get the infos he need on the server, infos which are probably not supposed to be available to public. So, as you see, a PC itself is pretty safe from the method you mentioned.
