Websites are not consistent in the checks they do, varying the card information requested.Īs the video above demonstrates, it's possible to recover the expiry date, CVV numerical code, and the postal code associated with a card knowing only partial details, e.g.The CCS2015 Toolkit automatically accesses a number of website payment systems and systematically removes the unknown elements through brute force failure and success until all the card details are uncovered. Guessing an expiry date takes no more than 60 attempts, where as a CVV code is less than 1,000 attempts. Spread over hundreds or thousands of website payment systems, you can see why the card details don't stay hidden for very long. The most worrying aspect of this attack is the fact the payment system, and therefore banks, do not detect it is happening. The attacker is creating a working stolen card in a matter of seconds, meaning they can steal it, use it, and discard it very quickly and before the owner realizes it has been stolen.
