What are deep and dark


web credit card sites?
Deep and dark web credit card sites
include forums and marketplaces that
host the trade and share of illicit content
relating to credit cards.

Unlike the forums, online


online credit
credit card
card
marketplaces
marketplaces, also known as credit
credit
card
card shops
shops, serve as a prime online
space for the trade of credit card
information and for the distribution of tools
that help dark web users to abuse
!nancial and personal data. These data
and tools allow cyber criminals to commit
di"erent types of !nancial cybercrimes,
including conducting unauthorized
transactions, trading prepaid cards and
gift cards, stu#ng cards, stealing and
taking over accounts, laundering money,
and other forms of fraud and scamming.

According to Bankrate’s report, over $5.72


billion was lost during 2022 as a result of
the card-not-present scam (CNP), a
category of fraud made via online
transactions, telephone, or mail, during
which a fraudulent payment is made when
the card is not presented to the merchant
for veri!cation. As one of the prominent
platforms supporting such activities, card
shops make carrying out such scams
relatively easy and popular.

This post will discuss deep and dark web


credit card sites, speci!cally the top illicit
credit card shops.

What can be found on


deep and dark web credit
card shops?
The listings of credit card details on credit
card sites can be generally divided into
two categories:

Category #1: Details needed


for fraudulent online
purchases
This category, also known on the dark web
as “CVV”, includes partial or full
information about the compromised credit
card and its owner, such as:

Bin number

Credit card number

CVV (Card Veri!cation Value) number

Date of expiry

Bank name

The information of the card owner,


such as:
Full name

Physical address

Phone number

Email address

SSN (Social Security Number)

Date of birth

These details are needed to make


purchases online only.

Category #2: Details needed


for physical fraudulent use
This category, which is called “Dump” on
the dark web, refers to the magnetic strip
raw data of credit cards, such as:

Bank account number

Account balance

Service code

PIN code / Card veri!cation code

Date of expiry

These details are needed for physical use


such as withdrawing money from ATMs.

In addition to these types of listings, there


are other free tools usually available on
credit card sites. These tools include for
example di"erent types of checkers, which
assist threat actors in verifying whether
the stolen card information they possess is
valid and can be used to make
unauthorized purchases. Some of the
common checkers available on the
website include “CVV checker” and
“Dump checker.” There are dark web
credit card sites that also provide data
generators such as the “Track1 generator”
that helps fraudsters in creating fake raw
data usually stored on the magnetic stripe
of a credit card.

Let’s take a look at the top dark web credit


card sites today.

BidenCash shop was established in April


2022, following the seizure of other card
shops and carding platforms by the
Russian authorities. Since its inception, it
has been attracting the attention of both
old and new cybercriminal customers.

After it relaunched in June 2022,


BidenCash initiated a promotional
campaign that included sharing a dump of
8 million lines of compromised data for
sale, which included thousands of stolen
credit cards.

Since then, BidenCash has continued to


operate using the “dumping” method. This
involves adding daily listings of stolen
credit card details to the site and
periodically dumping large amounts of
stolen credit card details at the same time.

BidenCash

The site’s administrators use several web


skimmers and infostealer malware to
gather both daily and dump-related
listings. Only a week ago, the website
launched another promotional campaign
to celebrate its one-year anniversary. As
part of the celebration, the site dumped
over 2 million stolen credit card details,
this time free of charge:

stolen credit cards for free as part of the site’s

serves as the o#cial sponsor of the
popular credit card site Crdpo

the most popular, reliable, and valuable

Russian speakers.

It specializes in the sale of data from


stolen credit cards alongside other PII-
related information such as Paypal
account logins, IP addresses, cookies, and
credentials of users.

The prices of the products listed on the


site tend to range between a few tens of
dollars to a few hundred dollars (payment
is accepted in Bitcoin, Litecoin, or
Ethereum), which makes it pretty
a"ordable. The site o"ers some built-in
tools such as a Bin Checker, Paypal Cookie
Converter, Track1 Generator, and a script
to convert Netscape to JSON cookies.

Why monitor deep and


dark web credit card sites?
Deep and dark web credit card sites are
illicit by de!nition since they focus on
selling various illegal products that enable
threat actors to carry out !nancial fraud,
money laundering, and other crimes
relating to credit cards. Stolen credit cards
and their details are added and bought on
these shops on an hourly basis, and more
and more markets launch a matching
forum and/or a Telegram channel to keep
expanding and supporting criminal online
activity.

The data posted on these online illicit


shops is a goldmine for threat actors who
are looking to commit !nancial crimes. It
provides them with valuable information
needed to carry out a variety of attacks.

For all of these reasons, monitoring the


activity on these platforms is crucial for
fraud detection, brand protection, and
!nancial intelligence. Because of the level
of anonymity, these sites allow
cybercriminals, it is critical to use powerful
and stable feeds of dark web data, such as
Webz.io’ Cyber API, to be able to
continuously track emerging !nancial and
reputational threats.
