They also felt a big hit from customers who were afraid to come use their credit cards there. After being there for 22 years, this hack ultimately caused the broadway grill to shut down and declare bankruptcy. The secret service had to go through the 1.7 million credit cards found on roman’s laptop and inform each bank of the theft. Those cards belonged to 3,700 different banks and each of them were called. In total the secret service counted that roman had hacked into 400 different restaurants and shops to steal credit cards from, many of which were locally-owned businesses.

The detective also checked out another local seattle place Russian carder called mad pizza which had been communicating to the hop one server. One had malware on it for four months, the other, six months. Then the detective drove down to a little town called yelm in washington to visit cosa mia. Instead he was hungry to see what was on their point of sales computers. Remote desktop enabled on it, malware installed, and it was scraping credit cards and sending them to either ukraine or this hop one server. At this point detective dunn had visited five restaurants, all of which had been hacked in the same way presumably by roman seleznev.

I tried to look up what phoenix news outlets covered this hack and only one small tech website did. My guess is that the zoo never went public with this breach and when the evidence about it came up years later in roman’s trial, it was just too old to be a news story anymore. The “tutorials” section is a collection of guides and resources for carders. Users can learn about different techniques and tools that they can use to get credit card information. The “general discussion” section is a place where users can discuss topics related to carding. Now, you might be wondering why so many of these small and local businesses had remote desktop exposed to the internet.

This text file contained 33,000 credit cards in clear text. Detective dunn was shocked and the broadway grill had no idea they had even been hacked. The detective ran a report on the credit cards in the text file and the report showed that within a day or two of the cards being stolen they already had fraudulent charges on them from around the world. This meant that whoever stole these cards had a way to move them quick.

In the latest darknet summary, we look at the trouble brewing in carding forums and markets. We often think about fraudsters as being one large group of kindred spirits, working in cahoots to defraud large companies, organisations and financial institutions. But the truth is, fraudsters will use any means possible to make financial gains, which includes turning on each other - and there has been a recent increase in such cases.

When the secret service met with them and started asking about roman seleznev, the fsb offered no help at all, like almost suspiciously unhelpful, which sent the secret service back home. Very soon after that meeting, ncux announced one last dump for sale and that they’re quitting the carding world. See, the fbi and secret service can request from yahoo to view e-mails for certain people if a warrant is processed. Then it’ll be reviewed by yahoo and they’ll supply the e-mails to the feds and they won’t even tip off the user, either. But getting a warrant and access to e-mails takes a while to process so the detective had to just sit there and wait for it to be ready. [music] While waiting for the warrant to go through, detective dunn got a call from the boeing engineers credit union or becu in seattle.
