The largest underground store for buying stolen credit cards, “Brian’sClub,” was hacked. More than 26 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen.
According to KrebsOnSecurity, BriansClub sold over 9.1 million stolen credit cards and earned more than $126 million. In addition, Brian Kerbs complains that the website is using his popularity and even his image to advertise.
KrebsOnSecurity shares plain text data that contains payment card data including the one for sale at BriansClub[.]at and historical data.
According to multiple analyses of the payment card data, the same card data has been shared with multiple sources and anyone with a Brains Club Website account can retrieve it.
Credit card data from 2015 to 2019 is exposed in the exposed data.
2015 BriansClub added 1.7 million cards
2016 BrainsClud added 2.89 million cards
2017 Around 4.9 million cards
2018 holds 9.2 million cards
Between January and August 2019 7.6 million cards
Data offered by BriansClub are mostly dumps, which contain ones and zeros. When these data are written on a magnetic stripe, they are used by criminals to make payments.
Below is a table showing the dark market value of the cards.
According to Flashpoint analysis, the BriansClub holds more than $414 worth of stolen credit card details. Out of 26M stolen cards, around 14M cards found valid and not expired.
The BriansClub acknowledged in a support ticket that “the data center has been hacked, and that the affected data has been taken off sales, so the issuing banks have no reason to worry.”
BriansClub’s stolen credit card data is shared with financial institutions to identify and monitor or reissue cards listed on black market websites.
Whether you are interested in purchasing a credit card or you are just looking to find a high-quality credit card for yourself, here are the top three websites to check out. Joker Stah, and Try2Service.
Note: If you register on these sites and do not have any balance in your account, your account will be automatically deleted after a week.
