Threat actors have leaked 1 million stolen credit cards for free online as a way to promote a fairly new and increasingly popular cybercriminal site dedicated toselling payment-card credentials.

The leaked credit cards include the following fields: Credit-card number, expiration date, CVV, name, country, state, city, address, ZIP code, email and phone number, according to threat actors.

Cards appears to be a relatively new player to the market for selling stolen credit-card data on the Dark Web, according to Cyble.

The black market for stolen credit cards is a massive illegal business, with cybercriminals getting their hands on card data in a number of ways.

Cards began flogging their cybercriminal services on carding sites in early June, ostensibly to drum up new business, researchers from Italian firm D3 Lab noted in a separate blog post detailing the leak, published last Friday.

Cyble posted a list of the top 500 banks affected by the leak of stolen credit cards in descending order.
