Article Title: Hackers advertising their services
The image of who is behind such a profitable industry is unfortunately for agencies like the FBI still blurred. Although the group behind the quoted advert 'Carderplanet' is indicated to be disbanded, recent articles demonstrate the complexity and efficiency of scams from similar groups. The Carderplanet are quoted to mainly be an "international group of credit card and identity thieves".

Groups like Carderplanet and Shadowcrew were supposedly shut down via the US thanks to an informant who was a high ranking of both groups according to Baselinemag's article.

The washingtonpost article links to this page where you can see the advert provided by the FBI, which was being used to promote the CarderPlanet services.
