Rescator
Rescator is the name of a Ukraine hacker specialising in the sale of credit card details. According to Russian cyber-security consultancy Group-IB, "Rescator" (AKA Helkern and ikaikki) runs his own marketplace at rescator.cm and uploaded over 5 million card details onto the SWIPED carder marketplace.[1]
Credit card details have been stolen from places like Minnesota and the United Kingdom ,[2] the website allows searches by zip code so that stolen card numbers can be cashed out more locally to their victim to avoid alerting banks.[3] Unlike the now defunct Tor Carding Forums, the site is free to use, payments requiring direct Bitcoin payments to sellers without escrow features more common on darknet markets.[4] Many of the stolen details from the Target,[5] Home Depot[6] and Sally Beauty[6] data breaches ended up at the site.
In March 2014, the site was briefly defaced by a rival hacker.[7]
