Quote:Joker’s Stash, the carding site where cybercriminals hawk their payment-card wares, has suffered a blow after law enforcement apparently seized one of its domains.
Joker’s Stash is a popular cybercriminal destination that specializes in trading in payment-card data, offering millions of stolen credit and debit cards to buyers. In October for instance, Dallas-based smoked-meat franchise Dickey’s Barbecue Pit saw 3 million customer payment cards turn up on the site. Anyone purchasing the information can create cloned cards to physically use at ATMs or at in-store machines that aren’t chip-enabled; or, they can simply use the information to buy things online.
According to researchers at Digital Shadows, Joker’s Stash evades takedowns by operating from several different domains. These include blockchain domains including .bazar, .lib, .emc, and .coin, as well as two Tor (.onion) versions of the platform, researchers said.
But late last week, the .bazar version of the site began displaying a notification that the U.S. Department of Justice and Interpol had seized the site. Shortly after, the .lib, .emc and .coin domains began showing a “Server Not Found” banner.
“Early chatter on the Russian-language cybercriminal forum XSS initially suggested that the entire site had been seized and expressed concern at this development,” according to Digital Shadows, in a recent blog.
