Risky Biz News Cites Flashpoint: BidenCash Dumps 2.1M Cards

March 2, 2023

Risky Biz News cites Flashpoint’s BidenCash carding marketplace analysis.

“To mark the one-year anniversary of their service, the operators of the BidenCash carding forum have dumped the personal and financial details of more than 2.1 million cardholders.”

Flashpoint found BidenCash leaked over 2.1 million payment cards as a promotional tactic, Risky Biz News reports.

What did Flashpoint identify about the BidenCash card dump?

Flashpoint determined that the BidenCash operators released more than 2.1 million stolen payment cards to promote their marketplace. Risky Biz News notes that nearly half of the exposed cards belonged to U.S. nationals.

Why does this matter for cybercrime and fraud risk?

Mass card dumps fuel downstream fraud even when cards expire. Full cardholder data enables phishing, identity theft, and account takeover long after the initial leak.

How does the Flashpoint Intelligence Team track carding marketplaces?

Flashpoint continuously monitors card shops, underground forums, and leak campaigns to assess scale, intent, and fraud risk. This analysis is detailed in Flashpoint’s coverage of BidenCash and card shop marketing tactics.
