Hacking Community Re-directs Novice Forums

Wapack Labs Analysts are providing an update regarding an underground carding, malware, and skimming community run by hackers. One of the members is known for his involvement in PoS (Point of Sales) breaches of several retail chains. Our analysts recently observed this community advertising in novice carder forums, which they had not done before. Their websites all re-direct buyers to a different carding shop which are copies of domains. Some individuals in the underground carding community consider these sites to be compromised by law enforcement. Pushing their capabilities to a wider, even if less experienced audience, may trigger a rise in PoS attacks.

Wapack Labs has cataloged and extensively reported on underground communities in the past. An archive of related reporting can be found in the Red Sky Alliance portal.
