Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence reported information that about 2.3 million bank cards were skimmed on the darknet. According to specialists, these cards were stolen from clients of banks or other credit institutions. As a result, the data became accessible to criminals and cybercriminals for illegal use. Currently, not all stolen cards can be used for committing illegal operations due to protective mechanisms used by banks. As experts explained, such data leaks emphasize the importance of protecting personal information and the urgent need to use reliable encryption methods when conducting payment transactions. Note that the darknet is a place where illegally acquired data can be bought or sold, making it a dangerous place for confidential information, such as banking data.
