I give my credit card info to restaurants who deliver to me without thinking about it, but what’s to stop someone from stealing that info?

Question

Obviously I can dispute charges, but is there any other failsafes that stop this? It just seems so odd that I casually give my CC number over the phone, often including the 3 numbers on the back.

Always pisses me off when you pay over the phone and they repeat the numbers back to you, you’ve no idea who could joyfully noting those numbers down to take away with them.
