Bank Card Killing Telegram Channels

It is never ethical to engage in or promote illegal activity, including the release of bank card details with the intention of causing harm to others. In this article, we will discuss the dangers and consequences of participating in such activities and encourage readers to always choose legal and responsible actions.

Telegram is a popular messaging app that allows users to create and join "channels" for the purpose of sharing messages and media with a large group of people. Some Telegram channels have been created for the purpose of sharing bank card details with the intention of committing fraud or other illegal activities. Telegram is utilised heavily by criminals, as a Russian-owned company it does not co-operate with western law enforcements.

Releasing bank card details without the owner's consent is a serious crime and can lead to severe consequences for those involved. In many countries, it is illegal to possess or distribute stolen financial information, and those caught doing so can face imprisonment and fines.

Furthermore, participating in such activities can also put individuals at risk of identity theft and financial loss. The release of bank card details can allow others to make unauthorized purchases or withdrawals, leading to financial losses for the card owner and potentially damaging their credit rating.

In short, participating in or promoting the release of bank card details with the intention of causing harm is not only illegal, but it is also unethical and can have serious consequences for all parties involved. It is important to always choose legal and responsible actions and to report any illegal activity to the authorities.

There are hundreds of Telegram Channels which 'drop' stolen banking information which are usually harvested from phishing campaigns. 

An example of the data produced and available to criminals and carders (numerous numbers redacted):

40291807331xxxxx 05/24 xx6 - 402918
ARGENTINA CREDIT CLASSIC BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES, S.A.

This is an example of the 'average' drop within Criminal Telegram channels. It includes the full bank card number, expiry and card verification code. The location of the bank is 'Argentina', it is a 'Credit' card and the level is 'Classic' - and the bank name is 'BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES, S.A.'

Law Enforcement and Federal agencies acknowledge the existence of such channels and organised crime networks - but there is no push to resolve the issue. Is Telegram a threat to ordinary people? Why should an application which widely accepts cyber-criminals be available for potential criminal usage?

Surely - there should be a push to crack down on Fraud - and Telegram is the hotspot for organised criminals.
