Mo Money Mo Problems: The Cashout

Presented at CarolinaCon 12 (2016), March 4, 2016, 9:30 p.m. (Unknown duration).

The hardest part of cybercrime is the cashout. The strategy for cashing out needs to be easy enough to make it worth your while and safe enough to stay out of the klink. With more and more focus on identifying and stopping credit card fraud cybercrooks are diversifying their methods for cashing out. While criminals can, and do, sell whole and bundled online retailer accounts, credit card data, and fullz, I want to look at how they get their grubby paws on that cold hard cash. Lets dig into the tools, techniques, and procedures used by this new generation of e-launderers and cyber hustlers.
