> When cards are cloned, it's exceptionally easy for a bank to determine which merchant is compromised by looking for common denominators.

Is it actually? My bank calls me to ask which transactions were mine and which ones werent, thus requiring outside feedback



That's your perspective. That's when -your- behavior doesn't match your previous behavior.

What they are looking for in a different context is "Customer A reported unauthorized transactions, and so did Customers B through D. Each of these customers, prior to these reports, all had a transaction occur at XYZ gas station, so is there a skimming problem at that gas station?"
