Joker’s Stash Carding Site Taken Down

2020-12-22 16:05

Joker's Stash, the carding site where cybercriminals hawk their payment-card wares, has suffered a blow after law enforcement apparently seized one of its domains.

Bazar version of the site began displaying a notification that the U.S. Department of Justice and Interpol had seized the site.

Merritt said that the other non-Tor Joker's Stash sites were likely offline because they were taken down by the administrator.

While the law-enforcement action is unlikely to slow Joker's Stash down for long, it could have repercussions for the site's "Cred" on the criminal underground, and it shows that blockchain DNS services aren't untouchable.

"Law-enforcement action against Joker's Stash may serve as a short-term deterrent, but the site's reputation as a credible for cybercriminals will likely be maintained. As we've already seen, site administrators can quickly adapt to takedown attempts by moving their operations to more secure domains."
