I work for an IT company and this is a very common situation for many of our clients.
Before pointing at vendors I recommend you to check your own system's security first. Have you scanned your system for viruses? There are key loggers out there that record every key-stoke from your keyboard and upload them back to the repository. You could be running the latest and greatest Mcafee, Norton or another virus protection suite and still get infected. There is no 100% protection against viruses even if a software company claims to have it. Aside from your personal security a vendor could be involved if they have weak security on their systems so before you pay any vendor make sure they are using valid SSL certificates for transactions. There's multiple points from where the info can be stolen from but as I mentioned the first concern should be your own personal PC. PM me if you need additional help securing your system.
