Lately I’ve been coming across “advertisements” posted on forums from criminal hackers looking to sell our stolen information. They are “carders” selling “dumps” and “fullz” I wrote about it HERE. Well I decided to make contact with one of them to see what the deal is. It turns out the one I connected with was less than forthcoming, but was very persistent and more than likely has and will continue to scam people. Here is the FIRST and SECOND postings set up by criminals that I’ve found this week. The links are functional as of this posting.
The hacker I contacted immediately returned my email. I told him I was a journalist and wanted to do a story on him. I couldn’t have been more upfront with my intentions. I even provided him my website, but that didn’t seem to matter. He just wanted my money. First he wanted me to open up my IM and connect with him via his Yahoo email. That way we could chat. But I wasn’t about to let him in via IM because there are known hacks that can allow a bad guy into your IM then onto your PC. So I set up a private chat at tinychat.com
He is: dskimmed2009 (how appropriate)
I am: robertsicili
Below is abridged to save you some pain. The full version is here. It went like this:
[11:50] robertsicili: who is here?

[13:45] robertsicili: In the US we call that an “advanced fee” scam. At least thats what someone told me.

[13:46] dskimmed2009: don’t do it again ok

[13:53] dskimmed2009: WESTERN UNION ONLINE SOFTWARE(WESTERN UNION BUG)VERSION 2009/2010PRICE:700$
Now I begin to get confused as he describes his process, because it makes no sense.
[14:22] robertsicili: explain to me me how it brings the infos and what the software hacks
[14:22] dskimmed2009: it will hack the bank u will choose on the list of the software processor
[14:23] dskimmed2009: then u will wait for 30 minutes for that bank u choose it’s infomations
[14:23] dskimmed2009: every infomations that will appear within that 30 minutes if valid infomations
[14:25] dskimmed2009: It’s not difficult to understand but if u understand i will be very happy man ok
[14:25] robertsicili: so the software is hacking the banks processor and getting consumer logins?
[14:28] dskimmed2009: it’s like bank transfer
[14:36] robertsicili: explain how th bank transfer works?
[14:36] dskimmed2009: a’m worry about how u dont understand man
[14:36] dskimmed2009: infact its pains me
“infact its pains me” TOOOOOO FUNNNNNYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[14:36] robertsicili: Im skilled in software but want to understand how it works. is it a sql injection?
[14:38] robertsicili: if I am to spend thousands of dollars I needd to know how the tech nology works. you are selling hacking softeware but wont tell me how it works
[14:38] dskimmed2009: it will bring that bank u choose all its infomations will appear on it within that 30 minutes time man
None of this makes sense.
[14:40] dskimmed2009: u see someone’s bank account
[14:40] dskimmed2009: he is from usa
[14:40] dskimmed2009: his account was hacked by the software last weeks monday
[14:41] dskimmed2009: 38k was withdraw from it by one of my costumer who come to buy the software man
[14:43] robertsicili: ok
[14:43] dskimmed2009: u see ?
[14:44] robertsicili: soft of. I think there mayt be a language barrier here
[14:45] dskimmed2009: what do u mean by that man?
[14:45] robertsicili: so the software gives me access to the server and shows the banks customers accounts?
[14:45] robertsicili: then I can withdraw from the account and make a transfer?
[14:46] dskimmed2009: oh yes man
[14:46] dskimmed2009: that is it
[14:46] dskimmed2009: u can make the transfer ur self to ur account either company or personal account
So I ask him how he hacks Paypal. Based on his answer It cant possibly be this easy.
[14:50] robertsicili: ok. how does it work with paypal?
[14:51] dskimmed2009: We have Verified and Non Verified Account
[14:51] dskimmed2009: just the id and the password
[14:51] dskimmed2009: we have ones with an empty balances and with ones with founds tooooo
[14:59] robertsicili: how does it work?
[15:00] dskimmed2009: for that one is not difficult man
[15:01] dskimmed2009: u will just put the id on it,it will show the password and the amount in the account
WHAT? His software just needs an ID (account number) and it shows the password? I think I smell a rat.
[15:01] dskimmed2009: then u transfer to ur bank account or ur paypal account or uur personal account or any of ur company accout man
[15:02] dskimmed2009: that’sall
[15:02] robertsicili: serious? you have software that will show a persons user ID and their passwords and whats in the account? How does it do that?
[15:03] dskimmed2009: the software self will show the password and the amount on it
[15:03] dskimmed2009: infact i have sell this to 2 costumers only
[15:03] dskimmed2009: it’s too cost but simple to operate
[15:05] robertsicili: This sounds to good to be real. How can you prove this works before i send you money?
[15:05] guest-14953 entered the room
[15:06] dskimmed2009: i dont have any thing to show man
So he’s got nothing. Or at least wont give up anything.
[15:07] dskimmed2009: if u are ready u go to send money now so that i send u the software man
[15:07] dskimmed2009: becoz with the software u will make alot of money
[15:07] dskimmed2009: and am going to do long term business with u for ever man
[15:07] robertsicili: if what you say is true then the entire banking and paypal security is non existent.
[15:08] dskimmed2009: so u must to trust me and to be honest with me that alll
[15:08] robertsicili: dude, i find it hard to trust in this situation.
[15:09] dskimmed2009: ok
[15:09] dskimmed2009: any way thanks for contacting me ok
[15:09] dskimmed2009: bye
What an ASS. I learned he wasn’t much of a hacker, or at least didn’t have a very good handle on his technology or he just didn’t want to tell me. But the mere fact that he is sitting in a hut or internet café somewhere and communicating like this tells me someone somewhere has sent him money. Man.
