I have an Amazon credit card that I use exclusively to buy from Amazon. I have not bought one single item from anywhere but Amazon. I don't even carry the card.
How did someone steal my credit card number and bought stuff on some other sides?
You may have a virus or key longer on your Computer.
There might be a hacker who got into Amazon's Computers or the credit card companies computers.
(Amazon did not issue the Credit Card, Some bank did, Amazon get a commission for getting you to sign-up for the card, and a percent of the "profits" from your use of it from the Bank).
Amazon's Credit Card Bank would be reporting your credit card usage to the Credit bureaus like Equifax. The number could have been hacked from them.

I don't even know the card number. I entered it to Amazon and left the card in my drawer.
According to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com I was one of the 143 million. I put a 90 day fraud alert on my credit report as soon as I found that out. I feel lucky I'm not in the OP's boat already, apparently this Equifax thing happened back in May and was discovered in July ... three days before their execs sold their stock ... and over a month before they bothered to tell anyone (Equifax execs sold shares before the hack was announced).
Equifax is probably busy preparing their defense to the sure to be looming class action lawsuit.
