NEW YORK—The online credit card market known as BidenCash, which sells compromised payment card data, recently released for free details of two million payment cards as a publicity stunt, Bank Info Security reported.
The move, Bank Info Security said, was intended to celebrate the group’s one-year anniversary.
The leak contained at least 740,858 credit cards, 811,676 debit cards, and 293 charge cards, of which about half were issued from U.S. banks, Bank Info Security said, citing a report from Cyble.
The leak included names, emails, phone numbers, home addresses, and payment card numbers, expiration dates and CVV codes, with the expiration dates ranging from early 2023 up to 2052.
‘Questionable Data’
“Whether actual fraudsters find that data dump useful is questionable. As New York threat intelligence firm Flashpoint says, the payment cards included in the dump are nearing expiration or are likely already rendered useless by a security alert.
