“Briansclub” got hacked!

October 16, 2019 by Jaimin Pandya Leave a Comment

This story is kind of funny imo. One of the biggest marketplace for stolen credit card data called Biransclub recently got hacked which led to a theft of more than 26 million records. It’s speculated that the name Brian has been used after Brian Krebs (Krebsonsecurity.com guy). Per the article, “Last month, KrebsOnSecurity was contacted by a source who shared a plain text file containing what was claimed to be the full database of cards for sale both currently and historically through BriansClub[.]at, a thriving fraud bazaar named after this author. Imitating my site, likeness and namesake, BriansClub even dubiously claims a copyright with a reference at the bottom of each page: “© 2019 Crabs on Security.”

Multiple people who reviewed the database shared by my source confirmed that the same credit card records also could be found in a more redacted form simply by searching the BriansClub Web site with a valid, properly-funded account.

All of the card data stolen from BriansClub was shared with multiple sources who work closely with financial institutions to identify and monitor or reissue cards that show up for sale in the cybercrime underground.”

The article provides more detail on the timeline of the events.
