That site was taken down by law enforcement, and the owner was arrested.<\/p>\n<h2>List of Sites Stealing Credit Cards<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent investigation McAfee discovered a site offering fresh dumps of stolen credit card numbers. This is nothing new, of course; these sites are available everywhere on the (visible) Internet. In this case, after we registered and were validated as a new \u201ccustomer,\u201d we saw this menu:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43113 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-1-300x75.png\" alt=\"20150504 card 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-1-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-1-1024x257.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-1.png 1572w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several options are available.

A few seconds later, the site displays a list of credit cards that can be purchased from people who live in Beaverton, Oregon:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-43109\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-5-300x129.png\" alt=\"20150504 card 5\" width=\"300\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-5-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-5-1024x442.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150504-card-5.png 1804w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As an extra service, the Russian owner(s) of the website offer\u2014for the modest fee of US$300\u2014the option to use a private botnet to attack your competitors with a distributed denial of service. That\u2019s a nice offer: What we could have saved on our \u201cpurchase,\u201d we could now use to boost our business a little bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we did not actually buy any credit card numbers. But the amount of fresh credit cards this service offers in the United States and rest of the world is huge. The ease of buying and paying is astonishing, all with a few anonymous mouse clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Although financial institutions take antifraud measures, your credit card details could have been stolen by a breach of an online business, point-of-sale terminal malware, or a number of other ways. To defend yourselves, simply checking your monthly statements is the best way to verify your purchases for irregularities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have seen an
