Carders.cc, a German online forum dedicated to helping criminals trade and 
sell financial data stolen through hacking, has itself been hacked. The 
once-guarded contents of its servers are now being traded on public 
file-sharing networks, leading to the exposure of potentially identifying 
information on the forum.s users as well as countless passwords and credit 
card accounts swiped from unsuspecting victims.

The breach involves at least three separate files being traded on 
Rapidshare.com: The largest is a database file containing what appear to 
be all of the communications among nearly 5,000 Carders.cc forum members, 
including the contents of private, one-to-one messages that subscribers to 
these forums typically use to negotiate the sale of stolen goods. Another 
file includes the user names, e-mail addresses and in many cases the 
passwords of Carder.cc forum users.
