On March 23, in the .ru zone, several dozen domain names of sites appeared offering fake databases of bank cards. This was first reported by the Telegram channel In4security<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Twenty-three domains contain the word CVV; most are formed by combining words such as shop, store, valid and dump in various variants. In total, experts counted about 50 domain names involved in the scheme.<\/p>\n

To acquire the databases, a deposit of $50 is requested to be sent to a Bitcoin wallet. However there is no cryptographic protocol for secure data transfer on these sites.<\/p>\n

\n

“What is particularly striking is the absence of an SSL certificate and the conspicuous errors in the text, such as the word ‘Accaunt’,” said In4security.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cybersecurity experts said<\/a> that in this case scammers are trying to fool other scammers, profiting from inexperienced carders.<\/p>\n

The upsurge in such fraud may be linked to the closure of major darknet marketplaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n
