Safeguard your Business and Customers

The long-standing threat of card testing has resurfaced in recent years, posing a grave threat to businesses. This malicious activity involves fraudsters validating stolen credit card data through small purchases or testing card details on websites, causing significant damage to revenue, customer trust, and operational effectiveness.

Card testing has evolved into a growing concern affecting businesses of all sizes. This attack increases the urgency for comprehensive defense strategies and collaborative efforts across all industries, to effectively combat this widespread threat to financial security and online commerce.

How does card testing work?

Before bad actors can profit from stolen card data—which they may have gotten through phishing, card number generation, black market repositories, or other nefarious means—they must validate card data by checking elements like the IIN, expiration date, and CVV. Once they identify valid cards, they conduct small test transactions to confirm card functionality. The attackers employ tactics to hide their identity, enabling further unauthorized use of these cards without the cardholder, merchant, or financial institution detecting the illicit activity.
