hi Lance -- interesting data! It might be worth scaling that against each bank's credit-card issuance volumes, to compensate for their relative sizes. This report -- http://www.chicagofed.org/publications/publicpolicystudies/emergingpayments/pdf/eps-2001-2.pdf -- gives these account volumes for the top 10 banks on page 33: 1. Bank One Corp./First USA 64,191 2. Citibank 40,600 3. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter 38,500 4. Capital One Financial Corp. 23,705 5. The Chase Manhattan Corp. 15,592 6. Households Credit Services Inc. 15,030 7. Providian Financial Corp. 12,400 8. Bank of America 12,000 9. Associates National Bank 8,764 10. FleetBoston Financial Corp. 7,237 (volume of accounts in thousands). However that's from 7 years ago :( There may be more recent figures but a quick google can't find 'em. --j. Lance James writes:
Hi all, We took one sample of one carding/phishing forum that our Global Surveillance Center was monitoring and sampled the set into a graph that lists the top 10 banks and the losses over the last month. As you can see, it's obvious who the top credit card companies are out there, but at the same time, we can see an ever increasing on the top targets but not necessarily an increase on the lower tiers over the entire three months, but in the first two we see a significant increase in success with stolen credit cards in general. In this case, the loss that we captured (which probably isn't nearly the number captured by this forum) was a little over 21,000 credit cards. Thought this might interest some, and if this is interesting, we are going to be providing a graph of the losses of top targets with malware in the upcoming weeks. Attached is the chart. -- Best Regards, Lance James Secure Science Corporation www.securescience.net Author of 'Phishing Exposed' http://securescience.net/home/news/phishingexposed.html ********************************************** * New IntelliFound Service 2 weeks free * * Real-Time Identity Surveillance Service * * https://slam.securescience.com/signup.cgi * ********************************************** _______________________________________________ General-discussion mailing list General-discussion () mal-aware org http://mal-aware.org/mailman/listinfo/general-discussion
