A threat actor is promoting a new criminal carding marketplace by releasing one million credit cards stolen between 2018 and 2019 on hacking forums.
Carding is the trafficking and use of stolen credit cards.
These stolen credit cards are then sold on criminal carding marketplaces where other threat actors purchase them to make online purchases, or more commonly, to buy hard-to-trace prepaid gift cards.
Last week, a new criminal carding marketplace called AllWorld Cards posted to numerous hacking forums where they leaked one million credit cards for free.
Cybersecurity firm Cyble also analyzed the credit card dump and told BleepingComputer that the leak contains credit card numbers, expiration dates, CVVs, names, countries, states, cities, addresses, zip codes for each credit card, and email/phone numbers.
The carding site started in May 2021 and has an inventory of 2,634,615 credit cards.
