Brian informed Book2park.com owner Anna Infante about a possible breach. ย Infante said she was not aware of the credit card data leak but said that recently, a firm that looks after the security of Book2Park, had discovered and removed malicious files that were somehow planted on Book2parkโs Web server.
โWe already took action on this, and we are totally on it,โ Infante said. โWe are taking all further steps in protecting our customers and reporting this to the proper authorities.โ
Usually criminal gangs sell the credit/debit card credentials for about $5 to $13 but Brian says that Book2Park’s credit cards are being sold in the range of $12 to $18 as they were issued by European banks.
