1.3 million Indians' bank card details put on the dark web

 On October 28,2019 the Singapore-based Group-IB security research team Shown unearthed a large database of credit and debit card details leaked on the dark web.

 The payment card details are being sold on the infamous underground card shops, Joker’s Stash, since October 28, 2019. 

 As per the screen-shot shared by Group-IB, each card is being sold for $100 (roughly Rs 7,092) and in total, it costs more than $130 million (approx. Rs 921.99 crore), making it the most valuable financial information to be put up for sale on the dark web to date.
Hacker used Skimmer to steal the credit and debit card details of 1.3 million Indian users.

 Usually, a criminal installs a credit/debit data retriever device at ATM's card slot in addition to a key-stroke tracker on the keypad (or sometimes place a small camera near it). Once the user inserts the card, it copies all the information in the magnetic stripe on the back of the card and the 4-digit PIN number will be recorded in the other device. After gaining information, the hacker creates a fake card and use it to buy merchandise or cash out the money from an ATM.

 How to detect skimmers on ATM and PoS machines:

  1.  Look for loose attachments on the keypad and in the card slot. if you feel it is detachable pull it. 
  2.  Also, look for signs of glue or tape around the keypad and card slot. Just use fingers to feel them.
  3.  If you are still wary about the ATM security, cover your keypad with the hand when typing the pin number, as most criminals install cameras to record keystrokes.
  4.  It goes without saying; lose the card with just the magnetic strip and get the latest one with the EMV chip.
  5.  The same method applies to PoS terminals. Check for loose parts particularly at the base where the card goes into the machine.

 Cyber Security Audits What is Cyber Security Audit?                 A cyber audit, at its core, refers to a systematic evaluation and assessment of an organization's information systems. This evaluation is designed to identify potential vulnerabilities, non-compliance with standards, and areas of improvement in both technology and processes, all with the aim of safeguarding digital assets against potential threats.
