The US Department of Justice has shut down PopeyeTools, a platform used to sell stolen credit cards and other financial fraud tools. Three administrators of the site have been charged with cybercrimes.
The PopeyeTools platform, which has been around since at least 2016, offered users stolen credit and debit cards, bank details and validation tools. Prices started at $30, and the total revenue of administrators was about 1.7 million $
The three suspects, including 25-year-old Abdul Ghaffar, 35-year-old Abdul Sami from Pakistan and 37-year-old Jawad Mirza from Afghanistan, are charged with conspiracy to defraud and trade access to devices and face up to 10 years in prison. As part of Operation Shipwrecked, $283,000 in cryptocurrency and PopeyeTools domains were seized. The site also provided “guarantees” to fraudsters – for example, refunds for inactive cards. The extracted data covers more than 227,000 people.
PopeyeTools was one of the leading sites in “carding” – trading in stolen credit data. The shutdown was part of a Justice Department crackdown on cybercriminals, including arrests of hackers linked to attacks on MGM Casino and other major financial institutions.
