Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

carding-financial-fraud scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Carding & Financial Fraud

Executive Summary

Carding and financial fraud represent one of the oldest and most mature cybercriminal ecosystems, encompassing the theft, trade, and monetization of payment card data and financial credentials. The ecosystem spans from initial data theft (via digital skimming, POS malware, phishing, and database breaches) through underground marketplace trading to ultimate monetization via card-not-present (CNP) fraud, money mule networks, and reshipping schemes. The shift toward EMV chip cards largely eliminated traditional card cloning for in-person fraud in developed markets, pushing the ecosystem heavily toward CNP fraud in e-commerce, which now represents the vast majority of card fraud losses globally — estimated at over $30 billion annually.

The digital skimming landscape, dominated by the umbrella term "Magecart," continues to evolve with threat actors injecting malicious JavaScript into e-commerce payment pages through compromised third-party scripts, CMS vulnerabilities, and supply chain attacks. Card shops and carding forums provide the marketplace infrastructure, with BidenCash emerging as a prominent card shop known for large-scale free dumps to attract customers. The Genesis Market takedown in Operation Cookie Monster (April 2023) disrupted a major marketplace for stolen credentials and browser fingerprints, though alternatives rapidly filled the gap.

The fraud ecosystem increasingly overlaps with other cybercriminal domains. Infostealer malware feeds card data and banking credentials directly into fraud pipelines. Business Email Compromise (BEC) operators share techniques and money mule networks with carding groups. SIM swapping enables account takeover for financial fraud and cryptocurrency theft. The emergence of Fraud-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms has lowered barriers to entry, offering turnkey fraud toolkits, tutorials, and operational support to less sophisticated actors.
