Attention, Stolen Credit Card Shoppers!

Kelly Jackson Higgins writes on Dark Reading:

Researchers at Finjan Software have discovered a one-stop online marketplace for buying stolen credit card and other sensitive information that offers volume discounts as well as customer service perks like "product" guarantees, according to a published report.

The so-called SellCVV2 Website, apparently named after the Card Verification Value 2 number on the backs of many major credit cards, appears to be using Google’s Blogspot service, according to Finjan. The big difference between SellCVV2 and other card-swapping sites "is the level of commercialization of the traders involved," Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO of Finjan, said in the report.
