Being pretty much done with the Darknet markets I decided to write a history of Carding on Wikipedia.
One evening's work means I captured the basics of the well know events, but I'm missing information specifically on:
- Activity pre-2003
- Most history of sites hacking/scamming one another
- The rise and rise of the Russian carding sites
I'm probably missing a lot of detail on site structure like:
- How the invite systems typically work
- Closeness of relationships with hacker groups
- Closeness of relationships with darknet markets (but product listing comparison is actually a separate research topic)
Any input appreciated!
You know, those who say that carding only hurt the banks can suck my dick. Fuck them. That's just a rationalization for being a fucking scumbag.
I just got my debit card number stolen and it was used. Fortunately, my bank sent me a text message after three phony transactions. At that point my card was shut off. I was 700 miles away from home. So I'm in another state with no access to my money. It may not have cost me anything, the bank refunded it, but it was an incredible inconvenience for me.
So carders can go fuck their fat, neckbeard selves and stink up their mom's basement.
