Non-US Cards Used At Target Fetch Premium
Summary: An underground card shop selling data stolen in Target's 19-day breach added a new base called "Barbarossa" holding more than 330,000 debit and credit cards issued by banks in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Canada, all used at Target during the breach window. Non-U.S. cards generally fetched between $67 and $100 apiece, with Barbarossa cards ranging from $23.62 to $135, and each listing included the state, city and ZIP code of the Target store where the card was stolen.
Why it matters: The shop prices cards by the store's ZIP code so buyers can pick cards from nearby victims and avoid the geographic fraud blocks banks rely on - meaning the breach data itself is organized to defeat the control most issuers count on.
