I'm aware of some sort of operation in which thousands of credit/debit cards appear to have been co-opted to donate to @forensicnewsnet. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but relevant people are being notified. If you don't recognize a $2 charge to Forensic News, let me know.
Between Monday and Wednesday, we received ~2000 attempted donations of $2. All of these attempted donations were from offshore locations such as Costa Rica and Russia. We're investigating.
We just got bombed with 300 more attempted donations. Something extremely fishy is going on.
I'm sitting here waiting for @stripe support as I'm watching money fly out the window because of this fraud.
Now up to 2,500 attempted donations.
This is like gambling except there's no chance I can win. Every time I refresh I'm losing multiples of 38 cents (service fee)
The issuing bank for all of the debit cards appears to be @BancoBCR, a state-owned Costa Rican bank.
I suspect it might be related to this. Someone appears to have acquired thousands of credit card numbers, trying to flush money through Forensic News. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…
