The report further notes that the estimated value of the dump is around $ 20 million, and the sale price of card was anywhere between $ 17 to $ 160.
However it is still not known how this large portion of secret data got leaked. Shestakov, head of Group-IB Cybercrime research unit said that usually card details are obtained by using skimming devices or trojans infecting the workstations connected to Point of sale terminal.
This incident should be an eye opener for the officials. The bank needs to investigate the loop holes in their current security systems and take the right measures to ensure safety for their customers.
