As India attempts an upgrade to a cashless society, cyber security experts have raised serious concerns and revealed how to find credit card information including expiration dates and CVV numbers in just 6 Seconds. And whats more interesting The hack uses nothing more than guesswork by querying multiple e commerce sites. In a new research paper entitled Does The Online Card Payment Landscape Unwittingly Facilitate Fraud published in the academic journal IEEE Security Privacy, researchers from the University of Newcastle explains how online payments remain a weak spot in the credit card security which makes it easy for fraudsters to retrieve sensitive card information. The technique, dubbed Distributed Guessing Attack, can circumvent all the security features put in place to protect online payments from fraud. The similar technique is believed to be responsible for the hack of thousands of Tesco customers in the U. K last month. The issue relies on the Visa payment system, where an attacker can guess and attempt all possible permutations and combinations of expiration dates and CVV numbers on hundreds of websites. Researchers discovered two weaknesses in the way online transactions are verified using the Visa payment system. They are as follows Online payment systems do not detect multiple incorrect payment requests if theyre performed across multiple sites. They also allow a maximum of 2. Web sites do not run checks regularly, varying the card information requested. Newcastle University Ph. D candidate Mohammed Ali says neither weakness is alone too severe, but when used together and exploited properly, a cyber criminal can recover a credit cards security information in just 6 seconds, presenting a serious risk to the whole payment system. Heres how the attack works. The attack is nothing but a very clever brute force attack that works against some of the most popular e commerce sites. So, instead of brute forcing just one retailers website that could trigger a fraud detection system due to incorrect guesses or lock the card, the researchers spread out guesses for the cards CVC number across multiple sites with each attempt narrowing the possible combinations until a valid expiration dates and CVV numbers are determined. The video demonstration shows that it only takes 6 seconds for a specially designed tool to reveal a cards secure code. First, an attacker needs a cards 1. NFC reader to skim them.

The hack included names, social security numbers, addresses, birthdays and drivers licence numbers. Photograph Dado RuvicReuters. New research reveals your debit and credit card can be hacked in less than 6 seconds. The Equifax breach involves millions of stolen Social Security numbers, birth dates and addresses, and hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers. Once a valid 1. 6 digit number is obtained, the hacker use web bots to brute force three digit card verification value or CVV and expiration date to hundreds of retailers at once. The CVV takes a maximum of 1,0. The bots then work to obtain the billing address, if required. The paper suggests the whole attack can be carried out in just 6 seconds. These experiments have also shown that it is possible to run multiple bots at the same time on hundreds of payment sites without triggering any alarms in the payment system, researchers explain in the paper. Combining that knowledge with the fact that an online payment request typically gets authorized within two seconds makes the attack viable and scalable in real time. As an illustration, with the website bot configured cleverly to run on 3. Theres a hidden mathematical pattern in your credit card also works for debit cards or ATM cards. In this video I will teach you a mathematical magic. The attack works against Visa card customers, as the company does not detect multiple attempts to use a card across its network, while Master. Card detects the brute force attack after fewer than 1. How to Protect yourself The team investigated the Alexa top 4. The researchers contacted the 3. As a result of the disclosure, eight sites have already changed their security systems to thwart the attacks. However, the other 2. For Visa, the best way to thwart the distributed card number guessing attack is to adopt a similar approach to Master. Card and lock a card when someone tries to guess card details multiple times, even tried across multiple websites. For customers, avoid using Visa credit or debit cards for making online payments, always keep an eye on your statements, and keep spending limit on your Visa card as low as possible. M Social Security numbers exposed after Equifax hack. Hackers may have the names and Social Security numbers of 1. Americans after a massive breach of credit reporting agency Equifax, the company said Thursday. Thats more than half of the nations adult population, according to Census figures. Hackers also trawled through birth dates, addresses and drivers license numbers, as well as 2. Best Hacking Software For Windows 7. May and July 2. 9, the company reported. I deeply regret this incident and I apologize every affected consumer and all of our partners, CEO Richard Smith said. The hackers exploited a US website application vulnerability to gain access, a company statement said. Upon discovering the massive breach, Equifax hired a leading, independent cybersecurity firm to review the attack and recommend ways to prevent future attacks, the company said. Equifax is offering every US consumer in the country free identity theft protection and credit file monitoring through the website www.
