EMV (Europay, Mastercard, Visa) chip technology was designed to dramatically reduce card fraud, including threats from shimmers. Here’s why shimmers struggle against EMV: 🔒 1. Dynamic Authentication (One-Time Cryptograms) How It Works: Every EMV transaction generates a unique cryptogram (like...

Since shimmers are nearly invisible inside card readers, banks and ATM manufacturers use a mix of physical, digital, and AI-driven solutions to catch them. Here’s how they do it: 🔍 1. Physical Inspection & Tamper Detection ATM Anti-Tamper Mechanisms Tamper-evident seals – Break if the card...

Unlike traditional magnetic stripe skimmers, shimmers target EMV chip cards, making them a more advanced threat. Here’s how they operate: 🔍 What is a Shimmer? A paper-thin, flexible device inserted into an ATM or payment terminal’s card slot. Designed to intercept data from EMV chips (not just...

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in modern anti-fraud systems, helping to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions. With the development of technology and the growth of data volumes, AI is becoming an indispensable tool for analyzing complex patterns and identifying suspicious...

Искусственный интеллект (ИИ) играет ключевую роль в современных антифрод-системах, помогая обнаруживать и предотвращать мошеннические операции. С развитием технологий и ростом объемов данных ИИ становится незаменимым инструментом для анализа сложных паттернов и выявления подозрительной...

Introduction Carding is a modern form of cybercrime that involves using stolen bank card data to commit fraudulent transactions. In the context of the digitalization of the economy and the growing popularity of non-cash payments, carding is becoming an increasingly common phenomenon, causing...

Введение Кардинг — это современная форма киберпреступности, которая представляет собой использование украденных данных банковских карт для совершения мошеннических операций. В условиях цифровизации экономики и роста популярности безналичных платежей кардинг становится все более распространенным...

What's the Difference Between Carding and Card Forums? While the terms "carding" and "card forums" are often related, they refer to different aspects of illegal activities involving stolen payment card data. Let’s break down the differences: 1. Carding Cardingrefers to the actual act of using...

Social engineering is a method of manipulating people to obtain confidential information, access systems, or perform actions that can be used to commit fraud. Unlike technical attacks (such as software hacking), social engineering focuses on the human factor, exploiting trust, inattention, or...

Social engineering plays a key role in carding, as it allows attackers to obtain sensitive bank card data (card number, CVV, expiration date, PIN code) directly from cardholders. Unlike technical methods such as skimming or database hacking, social engineering focuses on manipulating people...

Социальная инженерия играет ключевую роль в кардинге, так как она позволяет злоумышленникам получать конфиденциальные данные банковских карт (номер карты, CVV, срок действия, PIN-код) напрямую от владельцев карт. В отличие от технических методов, таких как скимминг или взлом баз данных...

Социальная инженерия — это метод манипулирования людьми с целью получения конфиденциальной информации, доступа к системам или совершения действий, которые могут быть использованы для мошенничества. В отличие от технических атак (например, взлома программного обеспечения), социальная инженерия...

I am publishing a short list of possible errors that you may encounter when creating a payments profile in Google Ads. Sometimes it seems to me that this list is endless. Save it in your notes or somewhere as a separate file and when an error occurs, just copy the code and quickly find the...

Публикую небольшой список возможных ошибок, которые у вас могут возникнуть при создании платежного профиля в Google Ads. Иногда мне кажется, что этот список бесконечный. Сохраняйте его себе в заметках или где-то отдельным файлом и когда будет ошибка, то просто копируйте код и по поиску быстро...

Izvestia's investigation is about the ideologist of foreign call centers and the supplier of stolen data about Russians. One of the key distributors of personal data of Russians in the interests of telephone scammers may be Ukrainian hacker Vladislav Khorokhorin, convicted of stealing $9...

Carding — the dark craft of stealing, selling and pumping stolen payment cards — has been the domain of Russian hackers for years. The mass transition of the US to chip cards has cut this business off at the roots. But Chinese cybercriminals are not asleep: their new schemes are giving the...

I think you don’t need to be reminded once again why the secrecy of correspondence should remain a secret by default. There are many messengers now, each of which offers some protection against data interception. But not all of them are designed the same, and each has unique features. In this...

Social engineering is often used in complex pentests, and often successfully, but by understanding the principles of psychology and writing a scenario taking them into account, you can significantly increase the percentage of successful interactions. In this article, we will analyze the main...

Today we will develop our own program for encrypting files. We will write in C++ and use cryptographic algorithms from the Botan library. Let's see what pitfalls there are when developing such programs and how not to inadvertently help the attacker. What helps an attacker break encryption A...
