BriansClub, one of the underground’s most popular card shops, has been hacked and 26 million cards leaked. It’s a major security event, Krebs On Security reports.
The site uses the name and likeness of a cybersecurity journalist named Brian Krebs, and advertises “the best quality cards from Legendary Brain Krebs.” This shop has been leaking stolen credit card data for years.

BriansClub is one of the top underground destinations for buying and selling stolen credit card information. They’re known for their customer service, a steady stream of stolen data and expert quality control. They also seem to enjoy goading the name of a cybersecurity journalist, which is why they use his picture on their advertising and call themselves the “best quality cards from Legendary Brian Krebs.”
The site has been offline since last Tuesday after being hit by a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which floods a website with traffic to prevent legitimate users from accessing it. Alphabet stepped in to defend the journalist, using its massive server infrastructure to run interference for Krebs on Security—and now the site is back online, thankfully, behind the protection of a program called Project Shield. This makes it all the more ironic that this attack was in response to his recent reporting on vDOS, an Israel-based cyberattack company that paid people for their stolen credit card data.

BriansClub is one of the best underground destinations for buying and selling stolen credit cards, according to security experts. It is known for offering good customer service, a steady stream of stolen credit-card information and expert quality control. In addition, it is a well-designed website that has all the hallmarks of a modern online retailer. Its most notable feature is the ability to sign in to your account using a mobile device.
It also makes a point of goading Brian Krebs, the cybersecurity journalist and author of the popular blog Krebs on Security. Its tame-to-see website features a logo with the name of Krebs on it, and has a dazzlingly designed ecommerce storefront. The website is also a clever use of technology, with a smart search engine and a clever interface to help users find what they’re looking for.
Credit Report
Credit reporting companies, known as credit bureaus, collect and store financial data about you that is submitted to them by creditors. They then issue reports to lenders, insurance companies and others as permitted under law.
Lenders use these reports to help them decide if they will loan you money, what interest rates they will offer you and how much you can expect to pay. They also use these reports to make decisions about whether to offer you insurance, rent a house or apartment, provide cable TV, internet, utility or cell phone service, or hire you.
A report can include information about your personal information, credit accounts and loans, payment history, and public records like bankruptcies, judgments and tax liens. It may also include a list of entities that have recently requested to see your report, including requests by you and creditors.
In December, cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs reported that a security researcher from Ukraine discovered a way to bypass the security measures on one of the three major consumer credit reporting companies, Experian. By tweaking the last part of its website URL, he was able to access his own credit report without answering any security questions.
