Abstract
“ This research paper offers a look into a one-man PoS malware campaign run by a prolific cybercriminal, “AlejandroV”. According to collected data, his PoS malware, dubbed “FighterPOS,” has hit 200 organizations across Brazil, Mexico, Italy, and the UK since early 2014 and has managed to scrape 22,000 credit card numbers within a month. AlejandroV does not only run his own campaign, but also sells FighterPOS to other cybercriminals in the underground forums. This “career change” seems surprising since our investigation has revealed that AlejandroV has a long history of carding and payment scams, taking both the role of malware developer and seller.
