Carders scam spammers | The Register: “Biting the hand that feeds IT

Via The Reg.

“Carders have signed up as affiliates to spam campaigns, but instead of sending out junk mail themselves they are using stolen credit card data to make purchases from the sponsors of spam campaigns, such as online pharmacies.”

This is one form of scamming/spam I have no problem with. Maybe this is the best way to rid the world of this parasite.

Self consuming? Maybe this would be possible.

Wait…didn’t this happen to Google with AdWords too?

Spam sponsors are complaining about been ripped off, a factor that allowed net security firm CipherTrust to identify the new ruse during the course of its work monitoring online spam and fraud forums.

Which is a good thing.

“Basically, we’re seeing the carders and phishers starting to look for other ways to make money and starting to discuss new methods of making profits from their scams.”

Which is not such a good thing.
