INSIGHTS INTO THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ACTIVE UNDERGROUND MARKETPLACES

Intel 471 Fraud Intelligence helps you improve fraud prevention, detection, and response with unmatched insights into the marketplaces where threat actors buy and sell stolen payment card data and compromised login credentials — often the starting points for fraudulent transactions and account takeover fraud, which can lead to hefty financial losses, legal costs, and reputational damage. 

Fraud Intelligence monitors underground marketplaces, card stores, instant messaging channels, and restricted access forums, alerting you as soon as relevant card data and logins are up for sale. Your teams can track vendor activity and identify market trends that help you take early preventative action against unauthorized transactions and account takeover fraud. 

With Intel 471’s industry-leading adversary intelligence, unique datasets, and real-time visibility into malware infrastructure, your teams gain insights into threat-actor methods, and can investigate how stolen payment card data and logins ended up on marketplaces, whether it’s from information-stealer malware, phishing, card skimmers, online checkout fraud, or data breaches. 

Payment Card Fraud Prevention

Initiate early fraud prevention mechanisms using data from our continuously updated stream of BINs, PANs and other card information available for sale in Telegram channels, marketplaces, bulletin boards, and forums.

Merchants can use BIN and PAN data for common point-of-purchase (CPP) analysis to help identify where a stolen card was last used for an authorized transaction and identify the source of fraud. It is also useful in conjunction with law enforcement investigations, and it can provide excellent return on investment for threat intelligence and hunt teams.

Fraud Intelligence Enables Multiple Use Cases 

SET WATCHERS AND ALERTS to ensure that you are notified as soon as any compromised card data and logins become available in the underground markets. A rapid response is essential in mitigating the business impact and actually reducing the value of stolen credentials in the marketplace.
BUILD A MASTER VIEW of how underground markets behave by tracking trends over time. Identify seasonality trends and even any causality so fraud prevention teams can prepare defenses ahead of time.
TRACK THREAT ACTORS AND VENDORS who sold the data to investigate how the cards or credentials were obtained and made their way into the marketplace. This allows proactive tracking of these actors and merchants to obtain early warning of future activity.
