Credit Cards

The Credit Cards tab provides a dedicated view into stolen or leaked payment card data circulating in the dark web and black markets. This section equips organizations with real-time visibility into financial fraud risks targeting employees, customers, or partners.

Information Provided

• Card Number → The exposed credit card number

• Card Holder Name → Identifies the owner of the compromised card, useful for mapping to affected employees or customers.

• Bank Name → Displays the issuing bank, helping financial teams assess institutional exposure.

• Expiration Date → Validity period of the compromised card, showing whether it is still active and usable by attackers.

• CVV → Indicates whether the card’s CVV code was exposed, which dramatically increases fraud potential.

• Detection Date → When AttackMetricx identified the card in underground markets.

• Source → link to specifies where the card data was obtained (e.g., stealer logs, marketplaces, ransomware dumps).

• Status → Tracks investigation and remediation progress (Resolved / Not Resolved).

• Details → Provides access to evidence and contextual intelligence about the leak.

Why it matters

• Exposed payment cards can result in direct financial loss, fraudulent transactions, or reputation damage for organizations.

• Having early visibility empowers security and fraud-prevention teams to notify impacted parties, block compromised cards, and initiate fraud countermeasures.

• AttackMetricx’s dark web intelligence goes beyond surface monitoring — it integrates machine learning models that detect carding patterns and links exposures back to malware families or known threat actors.

Example Use Case A scan detects multiple stolen credit cards linked to a specific bank’s BIN. The system automatically correlates these cards with data collected from stealer malware logs or underground markets, and immediately alerts the bank’s fraud/security team. This enables the institution to block or replace the compromised cards quickly and provides the necessary evidence for takedown requests against the malicious sources. By acting early, the bank reduces the time attackers have to monetize the stolen data.

A dedicated section explains how to add and manage Credit Card identifiers. Please refer to the Identifiers → BIN Check section for detailed instructions.
