Black market in stolen bank information has become global

Manufacturer of security Panda Security released a report on the extent of the underground market for stolen bank details, which is called The Cyber ??Crime Black Market: Uncovered. The document, according to HAKER.ru, explains how the illegal trade in stolen documents, has grown into a global phenomenon. Criminals are now selling a variety of products, and this variety of products all increased. "When I researched this area in 2007, there were only a few places where you can make this type of surgery, and most of seats were located in Russia. But now they're everywhere," - explains the technical director of Panda Labs, the research division Panda Security, Luis Matthews. "So just do it, and we as an industry, we can not stop them." Several years ago, he said, "it's less likely that someone will make you something bad, but now the likelihood of this increased - all moves only for the worse." Matthews said that the study could not give a monetary evaluation of the enormous sums that pass from hand to hand, because the size of the black market is still unknown, although the report stresses that along with the data of credit cards and bank accounts, the criminals are now selling these things how to fake ATM, apparatus for cloning cards and fake online shops, as well as rental VPN-networks. Prices range from two dollars for a stolen credit card data of up to 35 000 dollars for a fake ATM, which can be set in place the legal machinery in order to get numbers and PIN numbers of cards. The sophistication of the industry can also be illustrated by details such as the guaranteed account balance, details of which were stolen, and discounts on large orders, warranties and options "try before you buy." Several groups that appear on the underground market, working as a real company - including those who design Trojans steal data, and those who use viruses to break into user accounts and receive documents and data, and those who buy stolen data and steal them, and then use mules to launder and return of proceeds. "There is no" silver bullet "that would prevent it, but at least, you need to connect the police to criminals even think twice. The problem is that now they think twice and do not have to," - says Matthews. "Attempts to close the forums did not bring, because there are new, so you need to send a force against the very bad guys." Matthews calls for better organization of the police at the international level and the base of the organization by type of Interpol, whose duty is to investigate crimes on the Internet. But he cautioned that also need to lawmakers about the issue more seriously.
