Card skimming maybe? It could really happen anywhere, not just at ATM machines if someone has bad intent.

Luckily, I haven't had it happen to me and I monitor my accounts regularly. I imagined it's a major hassle to deal with it though.

Either this or the numbers are being stolen during electronic crimes (i.e. hacking). Though to be honest, the skimming is the far more likely explanation IMO.
