Good ol' #CCpower

A few weeks ago, one of our honeypots was hacked and the attacker installed an IRC bouncer on the machine. Nothing too spectacular, but nevertheless interesting since we can then observe how the attackers communicate with each other and what channels they use. The interesting part is that the attackers joined one of the well-known carding channels, in which credit card infos, Paypal accounts, PINs, and other stolen information is traded. Here a small excerpt, the full dump is many megabytes in size:

Different people offer a diverse set of stolen credentials, which can then be abused - quite interesting to observe all the trading activity (although we can only see the advertisements and not the actual trades). Last year, Franklin et al. published a study entitled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Internet Miscreants". In this paper, the authors present an analysis of 13 million public IRC messages obtained from several networks and channels, collected over a 7 month period. The particular channel we observed is one of them - time for some analysis to validate their measurements...

    Now all the e-mail addresses of your visitors (who posted comments and who provided their real e-mail address) can be traded on the same IRC channel. GoodJob!

    anonim you so stupid, who gives a fuck to your personal email address, when you buy mail addresses at the underground that starts from 600MB not 2000 shitty email or something.

    And for the article, I was hanging around on different ccpower networks since the beginning, 90% of these deals are ripoffs. Poor scum nigerians and romanians try to make 20$ deals by ripping eachother off. This is just a PUG what you find on undernet and different networks like unixirc, linuxirc. These people not even criminals just losers in life. I wouldn't bother wasting too much time for watching them. Won't do any good. You will never find any serious criminal group on the internet, since their trust builds in real life.

    That's kinda funny they hacked your honeypot, pbly with bruteforcing. I hate dumbass whitehat with made up titles like Chief Security Officer but I don't like these people either. Let the 2 group buttfuck eachother and waste their precious time.

    lol he said the truth!! most of them are rippers and scum bags..and yes, trust is built in real life not on internet! lOVE THE HONEYPOT BOOK!
