BriansClub Hacked By A Hacker For 26 Million Cards

BriansClub is one of the most popular black market sites for credit card data. It sells stolen information and boasts a membership of over 100,000 users. It is also one of the few online marketplaces that does not require its members to register or provide any personal information, which helps to protect the privacy of its customers.

Brians Club - Hacked By A Hacker For 26 Million Cards
One of the most popular underground stores that trades stolen debit and credit card details has been hacked, with a huge number of records being removed from its storefront. The store, which is modelled after security researcher Brian Krebs and features his likeness in various graphics throughout the site, recently had 26 million payment cards drained from its database.

BriansClub According to cybersecurity firm Gemini, the theft is significant as it reveals a large chunk of the 87 million credit and debit card records for sale that they currently track across the cybercrime underground. In a recent blog post, Andrei Barysevich, co-founder and CEO of Gemini, said that the leak will have a short-term impact on how competitors price their products.

However, the breach will have a longer-term impact on consumers’ understanding of the dangers of using stolen credit and debit card details. Dr Martin Emms, a financial crimes expert at Newcastle University, advises that customers should take steps to minimise the effects of an attack on their card details. For example, he suggests limiting the amount of money that can be spent on a card or using only one credit card at a time.

Another way that a customer can protect themselves is to use a different card for all online transactions. This means that if they are attacked, their bank will have no way of identifying their real card and the attacker could potentially be blocked from making purchases on it.

Moreover, they should always use strong passwords and change them regularly. Lastly, they should never share their passwords with anyone.

In addition, customers should be aware that when selling stolen card data on these stores, it is a criminal offence. It is important to understand that these sites are a lucrative business and the data that they sell can be used for a range of purposes, including identity theft and financial fraud.

This makes them very popular amongst cybercriminals. They often sell a high volume of credit card records and can earn a substantial return on their investment, particularly in cases where the data is very new.

These CC shops typically use a “gated entry” system to ensure that only serious customers apply for accounts. In addition, many of these stores offer customer service to ensure that their customers feel at ease.

AVCs have the following key features:
Authenticity: A good AVC will always verify that the data it sells has come from an authentic source, and it should be clear who it is sold to. This is crucial for preventing the spread of malware and ensuring that the AVCs’ reputation is preserved.
