New 'BidenCash' site sells your stolen credit card for just 15 cents

By Bill Toulas, Bleeping Computer

A recently launched carding site called 'BidenCash' is trying to get notoriety by leaking credit card details along with information about their owners.

The platform was set up at the end of April but kept its offerings to lower level because its infrastructure was not ready to accommodate large-scale operations.

On Thursday, June 16, BidenCash admins decided to give away a CSV file containing names, addresses, telephone numbers, emails, and credit card numbers for free to promote their platform.

In total, the file has close to eight million lines but not all have credit card details. According to Italian cybersecurity company D3Lab, there are about 6,600 credit cards in the database.

Furthermore, there are about 1,300 credit cards that are new and valid, most of them being from VISA and belonging to U.S.-based individuals.

However, the set includes over three million unique email addresses that could be used for phishing and hijacking various accounts.

Leaking cards for promotion purposes is a common method to increase operations. Last summer, a similar site named 'All World Cards' did something similar, releasing one million cards stolen between 2018 and 2019.
