Malware Programming For Carders - Stealer Series Chapter 1: The Use of Stealers in carding

[Lincoln]

In the underground world of cybercrime, carders are increasingly leveraging sophisticated malware known as “stealers.” These tools harvest sensitive data from victims, enabling carders to monetize stolen information effectively. In this thread, we will explore real-life case studies where stealers have been used, the techniques employed by cybercriminals, and the various methods they utilize to profit from stolen data.

What are Stealers?​

Stealers are a type of malware specifically designed to extract sensitive information from infected devices. They can capture a range of data, including:

• Credit card information
• Login credentials for online banking, e-commerce sites, and other platforms
• Browser cookies and stored passwords
• System information that can aid further exploits

Stealers can be deployed in various ways—through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or compromised websites—making them a versatile tool for cybercriminals.

Real-Life Cases of Stealer Usage​

2. The MegaCortex Ransomware Incident


While primarily known as ransomware, MegaCortex also included features to extract sensitive information from the infected systems. This dual functionality provided carders with the ability to exploit financial information during the ransom process.

• Tactics Used: After infecting machines, MegaCortex would search for saved credit card information and logins. Attackers then leveraged this data to extort victims further, demanding payment in cryptocurrency for not leaking sensitive data.
• Monetization: Data harvested was sold to other hackers or leveraged to charge additional ransoms based on the value of the stolen information.

How Carders Make Money from Stealer Data​

1. Selling Data on Dark Web Markets
   Hackers frequently use dark web platforms to sell stolen databases. Popular marketplaces include:
   • CRDPRO.cc
   • Empire Market
   • Silk Road 3.0
   • Dream Market (though now defunct, legacy markets still exist)
   • The price of stolen data can vary depending on the quality and type of information. Bulk personal data can range from $100 to several thousand dollars.
2. Using Stolen Credentials Directly
   Many carders use stolen credentials to conduct fraudulent activity directly. Common methods include:
   • Purchasing Goods Online: Using stolen credit card details to buy high-demand electronics, fashion, or other goods for resale.
   • Account Takeover: Gaining access to victims' online accounts to drain funds or purchase items with the victim’s payment information.

1. Creating Phishing Kits
   Some carders utilize stolen data to create sophisticated phishing kits aimed at collectively targeting other users. They launch phishing campaigns to extract further information or steal more credentials.
2. Ransomware Deployment
   With access to sensitive data, cybercriminals can threaten victims through ransomware attacks, demanding payment for data restoration or security.
3. Money Laundering Through Cryptocurrency
   Carders frequently use cryptocurrencies to launder stolen funds. By converting stolen money into various cryptocurrencies, they obscure the trail back to their original crime.

I think I saw this on a forum recently.

在网络犯罪的地下世界中，犯罪分子越来越多地利用被称为“窃取者”的复杂恶意软件。这些工具从受害者那里获取敏感数据，使犯罪分子能够有效地将窃取的信息货币化。在本主题中，我们将探讨使用窃取者的真实案例研究、网络犯罪分子使用的技术以及他们利用窃取数据获利的各种方法。

什么是窃贼？​

窃取程序是一种专门用于从受感染设备中提取敏感信息的恶意软件。它们可以捕获一系列数据，包括：

• 信用卡信息
• 网上银行、电子商务网站和其他平台的登录凭证
• 浏览器 cookie 和存储的密码
• 可帮助进一步利用的系统信息

窃取程序可以通过多种方式部署 - 通过网络钓鱼电子邮件、恶意下载或受感染的网站 - 使其成为网络犯罪分子的多功能工具。

数据窃取工具使用的真实案例​

2. MegaCortex 勒索软件事件


虽然 MegaCortex 主要以勒索软件的形式出现，但它还包含从受感染系统中提取敏感信息的功能。这种双重功能使信用卡持有者能够在勒索过程中利用财务信息。

• 所用策略： 感染机器后，MegaCortex 会搜索已保存的信用卡信息和登录信息。然后，攻击者利用这些数据进一步勒索受害者，要求受害者以加密货币支付不泄露敏感数据的报酬。
• 货币化：收集的数据被出售给其他黑客或根据被盗信息的价值收取额外的赎金。

信用卡诈骗者如何通过窃取数据赚钱​

1. 在暗网市场上出售数据
   黑客经常使用暗网平台出售被盗数据库。热门市场包括：
   • CRDPRO网站
   • 帝国市场
   • 丝绸之路3.0
   • 梦想市场（尽管现已不复存在，但传统市场仍然存在）
   • 被盗数据的价格取决于信息的质量和类型。大量个人数据的价格从 100 美元到几千美元不等。
2. 直接使用被盗凭证
   许多信用卡持有者使用被盗凭证直接进行欺诈活动。常见方法包括：
   • 在线购买商品： 使用被盗的信用卡信息购买高需求的电子产品、时装或其他商品以供转售。
   • 账户接管：访问受害者的在线账户，以窃取资金或使用受害者的支付信息购买物品。

1. 创建网络钓鱼工具包
   一些网络钓鱼者利用窃取的数据创建复杂的网络钓鱼工具包，旨在集体攻击其他用户。他们发起网络钓鱼活动以提取更多信息或窃取更多凭证。
2. 勒索软件部署
   通过访问敏感数据，网络犯罪分子可以通过勒索软件攻击威胁受害者，要求支付数据恢复或安全费用。
3. 通过加密货币洗钱
   犯罪分子经常使用加密货币来清洗被盗资金。通过将被盗资金转换成各种加密货币，他们掩盖了其原始犯罪的踪迹。
