Does this happen to anyone else as often as it does to me? I'm not shopping at sketchy places. I have the stupid chip. What the hell?
I'm extremely glad to read you're not liable! My biker neighbor had his credit info stolen off a hotel room card key and someone tried to buy like $700 worth of telemarketing equipment with it. Luckily his bank's familiar with his lifestyle and spending habits and had denied the charge before even telling him about it .

Doesn't happen to me as often...only about every other year when someone hacks a local business. I don't shop shady either. Like 80% of my card usage is at the same places: our favorite grocery store, the pet store I've been a customer at for so long I'm the only one allowed to take photos because they know I don't comparison-shop, the Mexican restaurant on the north end of town, and once in a while a thrift shop from among the 3 I usually shop at (there are 4 in town but I leave the 4th for all my donations because more than once back in the day I'd see something at a favorite thrift and debate buying it before remembering I'd donated it in the first place!). But my bank's zero-tolerance policy is that if a local business is hacked, first they reissue all customer cards and then they notify the customers. I like that they prioritize information safety, even if they do so to the point that my computer is too old to run a browser compatible with their online banking safety measures.
