In October 2022, the BidenCash carding marketplace released another advertising dump, expanding the size of the leak to include details on 1,221,551 credit cards.
Fast forward to 2023, in February, BidenCash leaked approximately 2.1 million credit card details on a Russian hacker forum. The timeline illustrates a consistent effort and increase in the number of credit cards, proving the escalating impact of the BidenCash marketplace.
