Carding involves the unauthorized use of stolen credit card data, typically following a process of acquisition, validation via small test transactions, and monetization through purchasing high-value items. Financial institutions defend against these fraudulent activities using tools such as Bank Identification Numbers (BINs), device fingerprinting, and Address Verification Systems (AVS). To prevent fraud, institutions employ multi-factor authentication, transaction monitoring, and tokenization, which replace sensitive cardholder data with secure, unique identifiers.
