The principle of operation of carders
Carders need directly the payment card number and other information about the card. It also happens that carders obtain data on the bank cards of their owners by purchasing databases.
For example, it is quite possible to purchase information on bank cards on the darknet for a fairly small fee. Scammers use a VPN that shows that they are located in another city or country in order to remain completely anonymous.
It happens in another way. A carder can create a phishing firm. For example, an attacker can create a copy of the page of a banking organization where the account login or a copy of the application is located. Then, by sending spam, the carder sends links to this application to potential victims.
If you believe the opinions of darknet users, then the initial investment of a carder to start his criminal activity is about 50$. But the carders do not manage to implement their plans right away, since the attackers need to gain skills and experience in their criminal case.
The meaning of the term "card"
The essence of card (carding) is in the process of entering bank card information into any payment system. For their own safety, scammers break into computers of ordinary users and work with them.
Some carders use an Android smartphone emulator or a virtual machine for their activities. When the attacker finishes driving, then he just needs to remove the programs with which he carried out his activities. Thus, it will be very difficult for law enforcement agencies to calculate it.
Carders do not always buy goods
In addition to the fact that the carder can purchase any product using the victim's bank card, he can also cash it out. In addition, the fraudster can use the stolen money to gamble on the Internet or spend it on something similar.
In addition, if the money is debited from the victim's card, then it will hardly be possible to return it.
Stores in the USA and Europe refuse to send goods to Russia if the payment was made through a PayPal linked to a bank card belonging to a citizen of the United States or a European country.
Special systems block suspicious transactions.
Although the attackers still carry out their illegal activities.
With the help of someone else's bank card, carders receive an additional gift card. Then they get access to the victim's mail by hacking it and the carders receive data on the card code. The scammers then order the product using the gift card code.
Some attackers create "self-registers". Carder is using a bank account that is already hacked. Next, he indicates information by mail and phone. Using such an account, a fraudster can borrow money.
Can a cashier in a store be a carder?
Cashiers in a supermarket usually receive a small salary, but if they are carders, their income is much higher.
If you pay for goods in a store with a card, the cashier can see its details and remember them. Often, when paying for a certain product, the buyer is only required to have a card number and a three-digit code on its back. It also happens that the cashier-carder can install a special "reader" and receive data on the victim's bank card.
As a result, the funds may disappear from your bank card, and you are unlikely to suspect the cashier of the store of the crime.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to say that if the law enforcement agencies find the carder, then in any case they will need to provide evidence of the attacker's involvement in the crimes. But the carder can cover up the traces of his actions, and there is a high probability that he will not be condemned.
Even if the police become aware of the transactions committed by the attacker, then this will not be enough to prove the guilt of the carder. It is very difficult to get a conviction for a carder and put him in jail.
