Here s a guide to the national origin of card data that was stolen from the Swarmshop market. (Source: Group-IB) For the second time in two years, the contents of the darknet payment card marketplace Swarmshop have been removed and posted to a competing underground forum, Group-IB reports. The content includes data on more than 600,000 payment cards as well as administrator, seller and buyer information.
Group-IB suspects the theft was conducted by some of Swarmshop s users. Although the source remains unknown, it must be one of those revenge hacks cases, Group-IB says in a report issued Thursday. This is a major reputation hit for the illicit card shop as all the sellers lost their goods and personal data. The card shop is unlikely to restore its status.

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.
