Comment on X-Ray Scans Expose Chip-And-Pin Card Hackparent

Makes me wonder if carder community has systems to protect from and/or punish idiots with poor OPSEC. It takes only one such idiot to ruin a perfectly good attack vector.

My understanding is that the online forums for this work quite a bit on reputation (for sellers at least). I can imagine people that use these hacks remove themselves from the ecosystem when they get caught. I also imagine the selling of this hack, if it happened, was probably brokered as a unique sale where the seller would not resell the hack, similar to how I imagine a lot of high-end zero-day exploits are sold. This, of course, is where the seller reputation would come into play.
