In April this year in the article "In 20 years, computer genius from Odessa was one of the leaders of the world's largest organized hacker groups, which included about 700 active members from 22 countries." "FACTS" wrote carder - manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit credit cards that were in effect throughout the world since 1999.Five leaders of this group of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies were able to calculate and arrest. All of them were our countrymen. Damage caused by their activities, millions of dollars. The lawsuit against the Ukrainian carders, who led an international organization, promises to be loud and have no analogues in world practice.That is the case for disclosure in Prague at a conference of the International Association of Financial Investigations, which is held every year in capitals around the world, an investigator of the Investigative Department of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in Kiev on the eve of Boris Popov Police Day was named the 2006 World Police. Boris confident that this title and earned three of his colleagues: Natalia Obrizan, Roman and Yuri Grishko Baranets, who also participated in exposing the Ukrainian carders.

 

"In the area of ​​the capital's radio market fake credit card can be purchased for $ 500"I recall that seven years ago, 16-year-old computer genius from Odessa, who later became known on the forum carders nick (nickname, used when communicating on the Internet. - Ed.) Script, met with 18-year-old hacker, nicknamed Big Beyer and 30 - year - nicknamed the BOA. The three friends went to the forum site carderplanet.com, uniting people from around the world who are engaged in fraud with credit cards, and soon took on him the lead. They set up on an existing forum rules. Henceforth, for each new candidate carders should guarantee two veteran internet forum.This website provides information about payment cards and their owners, stolen by hackers, as well as information about where and how much you can buy equipment to make fake credit cards. Very soon the size of the organization carders was more than 700 active members.Vaskina group (names changed. - Ed.) In the site hierarchy carderplanet.com ranked lower than the leaders of this Internet forum script, BOA and Big Baer, ​​however, it was an independent "combat unit" of an international organization carders.Apparatus for the manufacture of counterfeit cards fake credit cards

Apparatus for the manufacture of counterfeit cards and fake yourself.  

Michael Zizin: as alwaysyes it was a - C 24 to October 26, 2011 in Obninsk, a seminar was held. ..atominfo.rubegun- Vaskin with partners had the opportunity to make fake credit cards without any help - says an investigator of the Investigative Department of the Kiev police cupola Boris Popov. - They had their own workshop in the capital Bessarabki. This workshop was a one-bedroom apartment, littered with equipment. In the apartment of furniture was a table and chair. Day and night there was a man who had manufactured the badges and business cards, fake credit cards made of ordinary cardboard. For making such a credit card he received two dollars. The amount of seemingly small, but we are talking about thousands of pieces per month.- I wonder how much cost a fake credit card when it is resold to others? 

- In the radio market in Kiev, fake credit card can be purchased for $ 500. But this does not mean that anyone could buy it. Cards sold only to trusted individuals. Under Vaskina very often themselves members of the organization traveled with such cards in supermarkets and buying merchandise. What is, however, and burned.Among them was one guy - Vinnikov, which first took a job as a chauffeur. It delivers unfamiliar people on supermarkets and at first did not guess, for what it is. Then, when something is suspected, it decided to double-check to devote to their plans.Vinnikov delegate some tasks are: do take credit card and buy something in a supermarket that and then some.Watching, would not it privorovyvat. Checked it on checks, and even looked in his fridge. They knew that Vinnikov lived in poverty. And suddenly appeared abundant in the house would alert Vaskina and his accomplices. And when seen in the driver's honesty, decided to take it to work. From now on, with forged credit cards Vinnikov regular trips to supermarkets and returned from there with expensive purchases. In this case, attackers have been the rule: do not go twice in the same shop, so as not to burn. But this rule has been violated.A member of the group liked the store, "Hugo Boss" jacket. On the eve of Vinnikov bought there ten pairs of socks to 170 hryvnia each. And here again it was sent there to shop. Knowing what it can threaten, Vinnikov refused. Then he was beaten and forced to still go to the store. At the time of purchase of the former driver was detained, and he, without hesitation, surrendered to police all of his cronies."According to a fake payment cards to buy goods, two former criminals"- Immediately Vaskina arrest and his men failed because they have hit on the run - continues to Boris Popov. - Nevertheless, attackers will not lay on the floor and continued to work. It is true that to take money under false credit cards in Ukraine stopped. Carders have moved abroad, namely in Italy - a kind of Mecca of counterfeit credit cards.This probably does not exist anywhere in the world. In Milan, the seller supermarket guess that is to buy a fake credit card, it ... will not be reported to the police. On the contrary, it will ask if, say, there are still credit cards, let the buyer do not shy. Supermarkets know that banks are always reimbursed for their losses.One member Vaskina Omelchenko, contact with his Baltic friends, gave them a number of counterfeit banknotes for sale in Milan.Buying goods using forged cards were two ex-convicts, who was imprisoned for fifteen years - one for rape, the other - for murder. As soon released, the guys were right in what - in sports clothes, went to the Milan shopping.Their fake credit cards accepted, but the appearance of customers with broken noses, trust did not cause. No sooner had the criminals with huge bags in hand to reach the end of the street, as they are ... Italian police have detained.Omelchenko and two Balts appeared before the Italian justice system. For fraud with fake credit cards court found him a sentence of imprisonment of five years each. But hackers have stayed in an Italian prison for only two weeks. Couriers Vaskin handed to Italy for the release of their comrades fifteen thousand dollars. In the court room (!) In the presence of convicted (!!!) judge received the money and tore up their criminal cases! At the main investigation department of police of Kiev cupola there is evidence that these people were convicted in Italy, but the documents themselves from their Italian colleagues we can not get it.Immediately after the liberation Omelchenko and his friend went pribaltiets from Italy to Belgium. Two days after they had time to withdraw cash machines by fake cards 13 000 euros and were again arrested. This time they were given minimum terms.- Apparently, the Ukrainian fake credit cards are very popular in the world.- I can say that until recently, about 80 percent of counterfeit credit cards in the world were Ukrainian.- And how fake credit cards fell in Europe?- One way we know. Two conductors of the train "Kiev-Berlin" for the transportation of hundreds of fake cards receive 50 euros. Each card was about three thousand dollars.Carders considered themselves probably immune. That's why some of them come across stupidity. For example, in the studio for the production of counterfeit credit cards, who was in Kiev on Bessarabka, we went this way: someone called duty UBOP and said that he had behind the wall are constantly working some mechanism.But the story of a famous dentist nicknamed Ketamine. Once the district has led to my investigation department dentist. He complained, they say, it hurts a Omelchenko, insults, beats. Omelchenko surname by then we knew. It has already been released from prison and Belgian passed on to our documents in the case of counterfeit credit cards. It is true that recourse Kiev dentist in law enforcement, I did not connect with business groups carders.After listening to the doctor, I asked him for his phone number and received from him a business card. I wanted to put her already in his pocket, but became interested in e-mail address written on your business card. The fact that the e-mail address was the word "ketamine". A man under such a nickname was held with us in the case related to forged credit cards.Ask the dentist: "Do you have any nicknames?" He embarrassed and started calling other nicknames. Who is Ketamine, I ask. Then the dentist and surrendered. We came to his house and his apartment is littered with boxes of instruments called a card reader.Card readerMini Card Reader- What is this device?- It is developed by Ukrainian hackers. Spend it on a credit card, and he reads all the information about its owner.These card readers used illegally in some restaurants and stores, where customers are calculated credit cards.Waiters, who worked on the carders, quietly read information from credit cards. These data are then used in the manufacture of fakes.- It is unclear why the district complained of Ketamine on Omelchenko?- Between them there was a conflict. While sitting in Belgium Omelchenko, Ketamine wanted to take the lead in the group. It did not happen."Once an interrogation with a suspect was a man in a leather jacket, like in the movies of the NKVD"- For a long time in Ukraine has not been removed money on fake credit cards. Then there were already under investigation and Vaskin, and Omelchenko, and some other members of the group "Karderplanet." And suddenly we received a signal that someone has a fake credit card replenished by cell phone. Since the number we already had, we decided to go to the trick: send the user fake credit cards sms-message that he would have won if the new phone "Nokia", and asked to be the lucky winner at such and such address for the prize. And what do you think? Was.I'm interested in the name of the owner a false card. A person with a name like that, passing on the case, was wanted since 2003. It turned out that we are now left to his nephew. This guy started to develop its business in the same way that Vaskin, which is currently under investigation.- So, like a serpent Hydra carders. Chop off one head, as to grow in its place two new?- About it. Carderplanet.com site no longer exists. But there appeared another Internet portal, which we see almost the same nickname for communicating on the forums. For example, if a participant was carderplanet.com as Zeno, then on the new site was a Onez. Former Colt on the new site was Koltom. That is, the same people who are not particularly hidden.- You have been under pressure to investigate this case?- I can say so. Almost all of the detainees we have found a business card from the police officers, prosecutors, the SBU. Once the interrogation with a suspect a man came in a leather jacket, like in the movies of the NKVD. I ask: "Who are you?" He answered: "I was asked to be present during the interrogation the interrogator." Call the investigator and the other: "Yes, I do not know him ..." After I threatened to call up the police, the man took out a license officer counterintelligence.It is interesting that our carders who have been convicted in the United States, Ukraine and was not given. One of them had served in America ... as much as 18 months and immediately got lost somewhere in Japan.But in general we can say that, at least, from the Ukraine these schemers we survived. Presenting the award to me in Prague, the organizers of the International Association of Financial Investigation said that Ukraine was the first out on the trail of computer fraud. Until we have nobody in the world arrested carders.
