There are 4 million card information sold and sold online, of which 7,000 are Japanese card information.

Nordvpn SA cybersecurity company NordVPN has 7,000 Japanese traded on the dark web in a new study [https://nordvpn.com/research-lab/payment-card-details-theft/]. I analyzed my credit card information. This survey found that the average price of Japanese card information is 4905.89 yen. "Japanese credit cards are the most expensive in the world (the world average price is 1102.09 yen) because they reflect the wealth and quality of life of Japan. Lost or stolen card information is misused. Then, in most cases, the debt will fall on the bank, but the secret will be after 60 days of card fraud compensation, if the card has been left in the ETC in-vehicle device, or if it has been used for cashing. If the number is known or if there is any other gross negligence on the part of the user, the card user may be liable for debt. "NordVPN [https://nordvpn.com/ja" /] Chief Technical Officer Marius Briedis says. The average price of credit card information in Japan was 4905.89 yen, and the credit card price in Japan ranged from 114.25 yen to 8568.64 yen. The highest price of 2,089 was 8568.64 yen, but the overall average price was 4905.89 yen. Compared to the most expensive Japanese card information, the cheapest card information on the dark web is from Honduras, and the average price is less than 114.25 yen. "The price of card information is largely determined by demand. The greater the demand, the more criminals can raise the price of the particular information they are trying to sell. In this case, how easy it is to steal money on the card. And how much money can be stolen is directly related to demand, so card information in countries with higher quality of life or weaker bank security measures is the most expensive. ", Says Marius Briedis. Japan affected by about 7,000 card information leaks 7,049 stolen card information [https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2005/04/26/business/credit-card-fraud-how -they-do-it-and-how-to-protect-yourself /] It turned out to be Japanese. The most affected country was the United States, of which 1,561,739 of the 4,481,379 trading card information was owned by Americans. The next affected country was Australia, with 419,806 card information confirmed to be distributed on the dark web. Credit card usage in Japan is still not as high as in Western countries, but there are other regions in Asia where card usage has grown remarkably in recent years. However, credit card fraud has also increased, and according to the Japan Credit Association, it reached a peak of 30.9 billion yen in 2000 in Japan. Is it possible to prevent credit card fraud? Mairis Briedis explains: "The most common way credit card information is plagiarized is a brute force attack, which means criminals try to guess the card number or security code. The first 6-8 digits of the card number are the card issuer. The hacker only guesses the remaining 7-9 numbers. The 16th number is the check digit, which is just to make sure there are no mistakes when entering the card number. For self-defense, we recommend that cardholders be vigilant and check their monthly statements for any suspicious transactions. It is also important to choose a bank with good security measures. "The Government of Japan is moving from a cash-basis society to a cashless society. [Https://www.meti.go.jp/english/publications/pdf/journal2016_05b.pdf] Expecting a reduction in credit card fraud However, the strength of the cashless method depends on the security system of each company. On the other hand, banks also aim to eradicate fraudulent attacks by introducing fraud detection tools that follow the movement of money, and user safety. It is also very effective to prevent card fraud by using a stronger password system. Fortunately, multi-factor authentication is becoming the minimum standard equipment. " Marius Briedis of NordVPN is tied. Survey Method Data Collection: Data collection was conducted in collaboration with outside researchers specializing in cybersecurity case research. The analysis information in the database, which includes a total of 4,478,908 card information details, also includes information such as card type (credit or debit), issuing bank, and whether refunds are possible. The data that NordVPN receives from outside researchers does not include any specific personal information, such as name, contact information, or other personal information, or any relevant personally identifiable information. NordVPN only analyzes statistical data provided by outside researchers and does not deal with specific numbers belonging to card information bought or sold on the dark web. Analysis: What you can see with raw numerical data is only part of the status quo. Population size and card usage vary from country to country, and these two factors change the meaning of numerical data. In this survey, we compared the number of card information distributed by country and region, such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, with the card information between countries using the UN demographics. This made it possible to calculate risk indicators and more directly compare how easily card information is available on the dark web for each country.
