Security company outs a site offering stolen cards for sale.
ZDNet has reported that security company Finjan says it’s uncovered a Blogspot-hosted site, SellCW2, that it claims was “promoting the sale of fraudulent credit-card data with guarantees and volume discounts for large-scale fraudsters."
Finjan chief technology officer, Yuval Ben-Itzhak, said that card prices changed by the type of card, account, and where it came from.
"Prices typically range from $38 [£19] per set of card data for premium card accounts in small volumes, going down to $10 for [Classic Visa] card data in volumes of 100 or more. Customers are also being offered [a] trial set of data, as well as a guarantee on account details that do not work."
It was believed that the card details on the site had been garnered through phishing, although the site was cleared following the Finjan announcement.
