Criminals deceive their victims through different tricks into giving them their credit card information (Card number, Expiration date and Security code). With this information, criminals can purchase goods and services through electronic commerce or sell it for a third party to make use of it, that is why we must be very careful and know how to protect ourselves from Carding.
The most dangerous and complicated thing about this is that they pose as better-known pages such as Uber, Netflix, Paypal and others more of course and the best we can do against this is:
How to protect ourselves from Carding?
▸In case of suspecting a web page and email messages from unknown senders, it is best not to access said content that is mistrusted. Each of them can lead to the loss of sensitive information, including financial data.
▸If your business has been affected by the Carding cyber attack, you should not waste time and contact your bank to let them know that you have suffered a cyber crime. At the same time, it will be much better if your customers are aware of it. This is advisable because, in this way, you can ask your clients to change their passwords and any other authentication information regarding their private financial data.
▸You should install a trustworthy anti-spyware on the system so that you avoid the presence of any type of malware that could steal any sensitive information stored on the computer.
▸Do not forget to update the software immediately as soon as there is a new version, to guarantee security, expand functions or improve others. In this way, it tries to close important security holes so that they cannot be used by malware on your computer. This way you will prevent access to the system and do not steal your personal data.
▸In the case of physical Carding, whenever you use your card to pay either in restaurants, squares, etc., see that the transaction is made with your precense and thus see what is being done.
These would be some ways to protect us from Carding but of course you can investigate others since these would be the main ones that we should take into account.
