Carding is a type of online fraud that involves using stolen credit card information to make unauthorized purchases. This process often includes obtaining card details through hacking, phishing, or buying them on the dark web. The fraudster may use these details to buy goods or services, often reselling them for profit. To avoid detection, carders may use various techniques, such as using VPNs to mask their location or employing proxy servers to hide their online activity. This illegal practice poses significant risks to both consumers and businesses, leading to financial losses and identity theft.
