Darknet Marketplace Amazin Market Advertises Stolen Accounts and Payment Card Data

Summary

DarkOwl’s snapshot describes Amazin Market’s listings for hacked accounts, gift card codes, payment card data and money-laundering services. It reports possible links to another market but says affiliation is unconfirmed.

Key points

• Vendors advertised hacked Amazon, JPMorgan and PayPal accounts, compromised gift card codes, and money-laundering services using PayPal, Payoneer and Western Union.
• DarkOwl identified HQDumps as the marketplace’s sole vendor selling stolen payment card data, with victims reportedly in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia.
• DarkOwl found that HQDumps had previously sold on Silk Road, but could not determine which version, and had been associated with the MasterGroupOfSpam Telegram channel.
• The marketplace reportedly had seven vendors, accepted Bitcoin only, and used an escrow system.
• DarkOwl found that Amazin Market and MoneyPlus shared source code, vendor community and interface, but said it had no definitive evidence they were affiliated or shared an administrator.
• The article lists hxxps://amazin[.]to and hxxps://amazin[.]biz as marketplace domains and says the server locations and administrator’s identity remain unclear.
• Amazin Market was listed on Tor66 and identified as a scam market by Dark Web Magazine; the article says these findings may help explain its difficulty gaining traction.
