How JokerStash Operated in Plain Sight
JokerStash, one of the most infamous carding marketplaces on the dark web, gained notoriety for selling millions of stolen credit and debit card records. Despite operating in the shadows of the internet, JokerStash successfully eluded law enforcement for nearly seven years. Its longevity, visibility, and success can be attributed to a unique blend of advanced operational security (OPSEC), decentralized infrastructure, and an uncanny ability to function in plain sight without being immediately dismantled.
