‘Carderprofit’ Forum Sting Nets 26 Arrests
Summary: The U.S. Justice Department announced a two-year FBI sting, Operation Card Shop, in which the undercover carding forum Carderprofit.cc led to 26 arrests for trafficking in stolen credit and debit card accounts. The FBI contacted financial institutions about more than 411,000 compromised cards, notified 47 companies, government entities, and educational institutions of network breaches, and seized the UGNazi.com server and the carders.org domain.
Key Takeaway: The FBI ran the forum itself, collecting members' IP addresses, login credentials, and email addresses from registration, which means the same tradecraft that built this case is available to anyone who controls the platform your employees or customers use. More than 411,000 cards and 47 breached organizations were surfaced by a single undercover site.
