Trafficking stolen payment-card data

In cybercrime research, carding is the trafficking and fraudulent use of stolen payment-card data: offenders buy and sell card numbers in online markets and test them, often with small transactions, to find which remain valid before cashing them out. Holt and Lampke's 2010 Exploring stolen data markets online analysed these forums as functioning markets, with sellers, reviews, and reputations that set prices and enforce quality. The referent is an illicit economy of stolen financial data, studied through market structure and offender behaviour, and it shares only the word with the textile process.[1]
