I was browsing through AlphaBay's fraud section and had a look at the first few listings that came up. This got me wondering about things like credit cards on the dark net. What is the average balance of a hacked credit card on the dark net? How do people get away with using these credit cards? Is using a credit card bought on the dark net a victim less crime or may you be stealing from a sweet, innocent old lady? And lastly, why do people sell these credit cards so cheap, is it because the risk of the balance being zero is so high?
Sorry that I have so many questions, I just find this kind of stuff intriguing. Also, thank you in advance to anyone who answers any of my questions.
