Hi,

The CC info goes into the temporary memory of HikaShop before being sent to Authorize.net if you use the AIM API. So in that case it would be technically possible to steal it for a hacker. But it is never stored in the database nor in the files of the website, so if he only did a dump of the files or database he won't have it. It's actually quite technical to retrieve it but not impossible.
If you use Authorize.net with the SIM API there is no risk on that end. Nor with PayPal.

Regarding Authorize.net you should change your MD5 hash and see with them if you can change your transaction key in case it was stolen. PayPal is fine on that end too.
