Among the darknet marketplaces vying to pick up former Joker's Stash customers are Brian's Club, Vclub, Yale Lodge and UniCC, Kela says.
Flashpoint's researchers say the Ferum and Trump's Dumps marketplaces are also attempting to build their clientele after the apparent demise of Joker's Stash.
Joker's Stash customers were likely already looking for a new marketplace, says the threat research firm Digital Shadows, due to the site's declining customer service and having its service interrupted by law enforcement officials in December 2020.
Brian's Club Rising to the Top
So far, Brian's Club has gone the extra mile with its marketing efforts, Kela says. For example, it has replaced Joker's Stash as the official sponsor of the popular underground forum Omerta, which focuses on payment card trading.
