Amazing book, here you can read the introduction :
This paper is intended to detail how financially motivated
hacking groups convert stolen data to monetary instruments. The
primary premise for this paper is based on Eastern European
hacking groups but in recent months, the “financially motivated”
hacker sub group has expanded to include hackers from the Far and
Middle East Hackers. What the individuals are doing with the
illicit profits of their activities range from childish purchases
to funding terrorist attacks as was detailed in the recent
autobiography, “ Aku Melawan Teroris” (Me, Fighting the Terrorists)
by the Bali nightclub bomber. In the chapter “Hacking, Mengapa
Tidak” (Hacking, Why not?), Iman Samura, a computer scientist
provides a primer to Islamic Extremists of how to learn the trade
of credit card fraud and hacking.
To quote BigBoss, from forum.Carderplanet.com, “Carding
shouldn’t be something you do for fun, it is something you do to
survive.”
Financially motivated hackers consider hacking and carding as
their career. The employment opportunities are in their home
countries, particularly those whose salaries are enough to pay for
the life styles these individuals have become accustomed, are
extremely limited. They come from a society where the average pay
is $200 per month but Internet connectivity costs $40 per month.
Thus they are willing to spend one fifth of their monthly salary
to be online. A $1000 profit is more money then most Eastern
European hackers have ever seen at one time.
Though they understand the process of credit cards, most
International hackers do not understand the impact of committing
credit card fraud. Most come from cash economies and the use of a
credit card by regular citizens is extremely uncommon. They feel
the attack is directed at a big corporation and not an individual.
The idea of rising interest rates, chargeback fees or economic
instability are not concepts they can understand nor are they
their concern. Money is the object of their actions.
At the time of the first version of this paper in August
2003, many financially motivated hackers could be found chatting
in the forums of the web sites carderplanet.com, shadowcrew.com
and/or darkprofits.com. These sites are still referenced in this
2paper because the information provided on the sites are still
relevant.
Since that time, many of the referenced sites have been
shutdown or taken over by script-kiddies and the real profiteers
have moved deeper underground. Many have also become allied with
organized crime groups or created their own hacking teams.
Also at the time of original publication, EFnet and DALnet on
IRC initiated a crackdown on channels dedicated to cyber crime.
Since that time, the criminals have found loop holes in the
crackdown, such as renaming the groups, attaching messages of the
day (MOTD)forbidding criminal activity or making the channels
private. Many of the channels have also gone native; meaning they
are dedicated to a particular language group and all posts to the
channel utilize that language and the corresponding slang for
carding.
The point being, the groups have not gone away. They still
exist and communicate on the Internet by adapting to the rules.
Law Enforcement must now adapt in kind.
By no means is this paper intended to be the end-all
authority on this crime. Comments, questions and revision are
always welcome.
