Infostealers have quickly become a major threat vector for ransomware and data breaches, used by threat actors to steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers, CVVs, and other sensitive personal information. This year alone, Flashpoint observed over 53 million compromised credentials and 13 million infected devices due to infostealer activity.

To combat this rising threat, we are excited to announce that Flashpoint Fraud Intelligence now incorporates detailed infostealer logs—giving users visibility into compromised credit card information, empowering faster and more accurate detection of fraud.

Gain the Edge in Fraud Prevention with Infostealer Data

Flashpoint has collected over 456 million stolen or leaked credentials specifically sourced from infostealers. By integrating our detailed infostealer dataset with Flashpoint Fraud Intelligence, we’ve made it easier for fraud and security teams to detect threats sooner.

Here’s how Flashpoint Fraud Intelligence gives you an edge in credit card fraud prevention:

  • Access to breach details: View breach information, including whether your organization has been affected, for a more detailed and actionable understanding of threats.
  • Real-time detection and response: Help CTI and Fraud teams detect compromised data and respond quickly, reducing the time between data compromise and fraud detection.
  • Monitor dark web activity: Track the movement of stolen credit card information as it surfaces in underground forums and marketplaces.
  • Detect compromised credit cards earlier: Take action by canceling or blocking cards before fraud can occur.
  • Enrich fraud detection algorithms: Improve your risk scoring and fraud detection systems by using Flashpoint to strengthen machine learning models.

Stay Ahead of Threat Actors with Flashpoint

Infostealers can be extremely difficult to detect. Due to their incredible simplicity, efficiency, and speed, fraudsters are often able to steal and store data without triggering traditional fraud detection systems, which typically rely on rule-based triggers. This has allowed stealers to play a crucial role in harvesting vast amounts of financial data which cybercriminals often sell or use for unauthorized transactions.

Compromised credentials also allow malicious actors to infiltrate and move laterally within systems. In our Cyber Threat Intelligence Index: 2024 Midyear Edition report, we detailed how many credentials were stolen by stealers, which countries were the most affected, and the most prolific infostealer strains. Now, organizations have direct access to Flashpoint’s extensive collection of infostealer logs empowering them to better understand and mitigate potential financial risks.
