B1ack's Stash, an illicit carding marketplace, released a dataset containing over 1 million stolen credit and debit cards on a dark web forum on February 19, 2025. Experts are warning that the release of over 1 million unique credit and debit cards by the carding website B1ack’s Stash appears to be a marketing strategy to attract new customers and gain notoriety within the cybercrime ecosystem. Other underground marketplaces like Joker Stash and BidenCash facilitate the sale of payment card data.
The cybersecurity community is on high alert. It has been reported that the leaked data includes PAN, expiration date, CVV2, cardholders' personal details, email address, IP address, and User-Agent, obtained through e-skimming. Banking institutions are being advised to monitor the dark web for the offering of credit and debit cards to prevent fraudulent activities.
