Russian coders, Turkish beaches and millions of stolen data.
Cybercriminals from Turkey have teamed up with newly arrived Russian hackers to flood the online marketplace with tens of millions of newly stolen personal data. This is evidence of the evolution of the transnational nature of this type of fraud.
Thousands of specialists, mostly programmers, left Russia last September. Some of them, according to Turkish police and security researchers, turned to online fraud for their residence, joining forces with experienced Turkish colleagues.
The recent surge in activity has forced the Turkish police to launch an investigation. However, cybercriminals use sophisticated methods to disguise their online activities.
On the other hand, criminals from Russian-speaking countries often work relatively openly due to the lack of strict control by their governments.
It is interesting that these cybercriminal groups avoid attacks on Turkish citizens in order to reduce the attention of local authorities.
The popular cybercriminal site, dubbed the "Underground Record Cloud" by researchers, has been flooded with tens of millions of stolen credit cards and credentials in recent months. This" treasure trove " was discovered by an information security specialist from Israel, Osher Assor.
The main feature of the stolen data is that it includes browser cookies, allowing hackers to impersonate victims and copy saved credit cards.
Osher Assor noted that the uniqueness of the data lies in its "freshness". Recently obtained screenshots of conversations with a Turkish hacker show hundreds of Telegram groups offering access to fresh data for as little as $ 50 a week.
A Turkish information security specialist said that newly arrived Russian hackers trained Turkish fraudsters in sophisticated coding that allows them to process large amounts of data, while Turkish criminals used their contacts in Western Europe to get higher prices for organized data sets.
The final point of Assor's research shows that hackers take a professional approach to marketing and even provide individual recommendations. However, when asked about his ties to Russian hackers, the Turkish criminal replied:: "No, brother. The main thing is not to know their faces, but to work with talented people."
