I assume this is carded?



With digital goods it's probably easier to illegally copy them from victim's machine after they've been (legitimately) purchased, so they are more likely obtained via password grabbers.

I imagine stealing paysites' credentials is a sort of a bike theft of the criminal web - low profit, low risk.


I never figured it out. It is tempting, but nothing I would ever risk myself. There are also a ton of new scams such as "buy this MacBook pro for full price, cancel the order then send me $300 in bitcoin and I'll send it to you" (I know I butchered that process)


The thing is my question would be how stupid it would have to be for things like spotify -- which, being streaming media, is shitty to run across a VPN, and if you were using carded goods on your home computer, traceable back to you easily, when the dispute for unauthorized use hits..


You're funny
