The dump is the second big download of stolen card data from the Pakistani banking community over the past three months. In November 2018, Group-IB reported about massive leaks of 177,878 payment cards of Pakistani and other international banks. The banks affected by this breach included major Pakistani banks financial organizations such as, Habib Bank, MCB Bank Limited, Allied Bank Limited and many others.
