BriansClub Has Been Breached

by Avinash Mittal Blogger

Briansclub is a site that offers users the opportunity to buy and sell stolen credit card data. It was founded in 2014 and has become one of the largest online marketplaces for stolen card data, with over 100,000 members and billions of dollars worth of transactions taking place each year.

The site uses state-of-the-art security measures to protect its members, and all transactions are conducted through a secure, encrypted platform. It also offers a money-back guarantee to its clients, so they can rest assured that they are receiving the best possible service.

In order to use briansclub, users must register and create an account. Once registered, they can begin browsing the site and buying dumps. These dumps are stolen credit card information that can be used to make counterfeit purchases.

Several different types of credit cards are available on the site, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. The site also features a forum for consumers to share deals and ask questions. It is a great way for consumers to build relationships with others who have similar interests.

One of the biggest concerns about briansclub is that it is vulnerable to hacking. According to a recent report by cybersecurity reporter Brian Krebs, a hacker has stolen more than 26 million credit and debit card records from the site.

This includes card details such as the owner’s country, state, city, zip code, and CVV2 numbers. These can be used to make fraudulent purchases and can also be stolen and sold on the black market.

In a recent blog post, security researcher Brian Krebs announced that BriansClub had been hacked and its inventory of 26 million stolen credit and debit card records had leaked to multiple security contacts in the banking industry.

The breach appears to have been orchestrated by a competitor who wanted to knock off another of the underground’s biggest shops for buying stolen card data, Krebs reports. While the breach is a big deal for cybercrime experts, it’s not the first time a popular underground store has been compromised.

For example, Gemini, a company that monitors stolen card data markets, has tracked 87 million credit and debit card records for sale at such stores since 2014.

As it turns out, the hackers who breached BriansClub actually own a competing store called Joker’s Stash. And that store has been a target of cybercrime investigators for years.

Despite the hack, business has been steady for BriansClub since 2015. The data Krebs obtained shows that the shop posted 1.7 million credit and debit card records for sale in 2015; then it added more every year afterward.

But it seems that business has really taken off in each of the past three years, bringing in more than 8 million records between January and August 2019, according to Krebs.

The site’s interface is quite polished, and the data it offers is clean, easy to read, and organized in a clear manner. However, the fact that a large number of credit card holders have already signed up for the service and are using it for fraudulent purposes raises questions about its security.
