Mobile Application Detected Impersonating Company Brand

Mobile Application Detected Impersonating Company used Digital Shadows SearchLight™ to help address a data exposure challenge. In the case study, a retail bank needed to detect when customer credit card numbers were being shared and traded online by cyber criminals, particularly on IRC channels used to validate stolen cards.

Digital Shadows monitored targeted identifiers such as IIN/BIN ranges and identified the bank’s customer card details being tested on an IRC channel. Digital Shadows analysts verified the activity, added context, and delivered the incident to the SOC Manager within an hour of the original post; the bank then disabled the affected cards and alerted customers, helping prevent further fraud and reduce risk.
