A card testing attack is a method used by cybercriminals to test the validity of stolen credit card information. This guide will help you understand how these attacks work and provide defense strategies.
Cybercriminals obtain stolen card details, such as the card number, expiration date, and CVV. They then use these details to make small purchases online, which are often for very low amounts. By doing this, they can verify if the card is still active and has not been reported lost or stolen.
Here are some steps you can take to defend against card testing attacks:
Always use secure payment methods, such as PayPal or Apple Pay, which offer additional layers of security. Be cautious when sharing your card information online and never store your card details on untrusted websites.
