Scams like these

Someone, (on Reddit, not me), went to a supermarket here in Aus, and his/her card details, got copied and used in the US.
Their bank flagged the transaction, but with the banks and govs wanting us to use cards so much, wonder why banks can up their anti scams, and sometimes, its on us customers to keep an eye out.

It should be impossible to copy card numbers, ... and they say chip credit and debit cards are the safest, hah!
Meaning, that someone, somehow, at a supermarket, has succeeded in putting in/on a chip card reader.
