The underground payment-card data broker saw its blockchain DNS sites taken offline after an apparent law-enforcement effort – and now Tor sites are down. Continue reading Joker’s Stash Carding Site Taken Down
An ongoing law enforcement operation has disrupted aspects of a leading website where internet scammers frequently buy and sell stolen data, according to the site’s administrators and multiple sources with visibility into the site. A message posted Thursday on a forum at the Joker’s Stash, a marketplace where members have previously listed millions of payment cards stolen from U.S. restaurant chains, notifies members that “these bastards busted” an “external proxy server” connected to a section of the site. Other aspects of Joker’s Stash remained functioning normally at press time Thursday, though one researcher suggested the action represented a kind of warning to the site that has facilitated fraud since at least 2015. “This relates to a coordinated police operational activity that is ongoing, and at this time we are not in a position to comment,” Interpol, the inter-governmental law enforcement organization based in France, said in an email.

The operator of two “mixer” or “tumbler” services that exchanged cryptocurrency for users on “the darkest spaces of the internet” is facing $60 million in civil penalties from the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The decision against Larry Dean Harmon, who operated the services known as Helix from 2014-17 and Coin Ninja from 2017-20, is the first of its kind from FinCEN against a bitcoin mixer. The agency said he failed to register both as money services businesses and violated federal obligations “to develop, implement, and maintain an anti-money laundering compliance program; and to meet all applicable reporting and recordkeeping requirements.” More specifically, Harmon failed to file suspicious activity reports for transactions within dark web markets, as required by the Bank Secrecy Act. “Mr. Harmon operated Helix as a bitcoin mixer, or tumbler, and advertised its services in the darkest spaces of the internet as a way for […]

After cybercriminals smoked out 3 million compromised payment cards on the Joker’s Stash marketplace, researchers linked the data to a breach at the popular barbecue franchise. Continue reading Dickey’s BBQ Breach: Meaty 3M Payment Card Upload Drops on Joker’s Stash
Joker’s Stash, one of the most notorious web forums for stolen credit card data, has claimed a new scalp. Sellers on the site this week claimed to be offering 3 million payment card numbers used at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, a U.S. fast-food chain, researchers at intelligence firm Gemini Advisory said Thursday. More than 100 of the barbecue joint’s locations were affected by the breach, and the data is being sold for a median price of $17 per card, according to the research. The data from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit customers appears to have been compromised between July 2019 and August 2020, according to Gemini Advisory. Numerous restaurant and hospitality chains have been hit by scammers in recent years because of the personal financial data they collect. “Given the widespread nature of the breach, the exposure may be linked to a breach of the single central processor, which was leveraged by over a quarter of all […]
