In what amounts to a very clever brute force attack, a group of researchers has figured out how to find credit card information \u2013 including expiration dates and CVV numbers \u2013 by querying ecommerce sites. The process, which was outlined in IEEE Security Privacy<\/a>, involves guessing and testing hundreds of permutations of expiration dates and CVV numbers on hundreds of sites.<\/p>\n

MasterCards aren\u2019t susceptible to this attack because their system shuts down cards after 100 attempts. Visa cardholders aren\u2019t so lucky.<\/p>\n

The researchers, Mohammed Aamir Ali, Budi Arief, Martin Emms, and Aad van Moorsel, believe that their tool can also be used to guess ZIP codes and address data or hackers can simply correlate location data with issuing banks or use skimmers to figure out where different cards are used. If the commerce site doesn\u2019t require a ZIP code, however, cracking the card is as simple as running a program.<\/p>\n

The researchers believe that these attacks are already happening in the wild and that their solution \u2013 while distressing \u2013 isn\u2019t unique, which makes it much scarier.<\/p>\n
