Cashout
The last mile: turning stolen access, cards or balances into money the criminal keeps. Gift cards, crypto, mule accounts, reshipping, each with its own fee and its own specialists.
Why it matters to you
Cashout is the step with the most friction, which makes it the step with the most leverage. Controls that add delay there cost an attacker more than controls that add delay at login.
Where we meet it
Cashout services advertise their rates, and a rate is a market reading: when the fee for a country falls, someone has found a channel nobody is watching yet.
