RSA has identified a new tool designed by online fraudsters that can validate compromised credit and debit cards. The tool – coined a “card checker” – allows fraudsters to check the accuracy of stolen payment card data for free, and in turn directly exploits an online merchant’s AVS check and enables compromised payment cards to be checked simultaneously. RSA's recent Online Fraud Report also revealed that the number of phishing attacks detected rose by just over 15% in March, or slightly more than 1,500 attacks. Plus the most widely used hosting method used to launch phishing attacks were those based upon fast-flux networks, with 52% of the total. Within fastflux networks, instead of just one IP address, multiple and periodically changing IP addresses are assigned to each domain of each fraudulent website.
