Validtools.ru Exposes Compromised Accounts


www.bgr.in
The underground cybercriminal shop, “Validtools.ru”, has advertised the sale of various compromised accounts, hacking and scamming tutorials and credit card data.  Typically, credentials are seen only by the seller and buyer, but Wapack Labs analysts observed three cases where logins and passwords associated with e-mail and major payment processor accounts were exposed. These exposed credentials are assessed as being either a material showcase or an actor’s mistake.
