How do they catch carders?
The largest number of arrests of cybercriminals is made by American intelligence agencies. The arrest scheme is as follows:
- The criminal is being tracked
- A country is chosen that has a practice of extradition, and detention there does not look like kidnapping according to the law. Or a highly corrupt country with no extradition is chosen.
- US Constitutional law does not apply outside the US, so torture and kidnapping are not violations of US law. The most famous cases of detention occurred in Liberia, the Maldives, France and Holland.
How to protect yourself from theft of payment card data?
Users often make mistakes that make their payment card available to fraudsters:
- Passwords are too light.
- Setting the same passwords for all services. How to protect passwords, read the article How and where to store passwords. It is better to store particularly valuable information on special encrypted disks in one of the sections of your computer’s hard drive.
- Passing the password in clear text without additionally checking the site for validity. Before entering a password on the site, you must carefully check the site URL for originality.
Conduct business honestly.
Good luck and profit, friends!
