The Underground Ecosystem of Credit Card Frauds
summary
Explains how POS RAM-scrapers identify track one and track two data in memory with regexes and function calls, exfiltrate dumps to C2 servers, then sell them on forums that offer replacements, IRC support and Tor access; buyers pick single cards, bulk dumps or expensive fulls (CVV, DOB, address) and convert details with magnetic-stripe writers and carding software to counterfeit plastic; specialized services—runners/droppers/shoppers—cash out (runners take ~40–60% cuts, droppers ~30–50%, shoppers ~10–30%); EMV chips don’t stop RAM scraping.
