Wallet file
The wallet database and key material an infostealer copies off a victim machine, sold on the chance that the passphrase is weak, reused, or sitting in the same log.
Why it matters to you
A wallet leaves with the log and cannot be reset. If a device that held keys was ever infected, the funds move on the attacker's schedule rather than yours.
Where we meet it
Wallet files travel inside the same bundle as the browser passwords, which is why an organisation that checks only corporate credentials against a log never learns the personal loss happened.

Stealer log
The complete output of an infostealer infection: every saved browser password, session cookie, autofill record and crypto-wallet file from one victim machine, zipped into a single bundle.
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.

More from the goods
Bank log
Access to a compromised online banking account, sold with the balance quoted in the listing. Priced as a fraction of what it holds, because the buyer still has to get the money out.
BIN
The first six to eight digits of a payment card, identifying the issuing bank, the country and the card product. Not stolen data in itself, but the index the trade is organised around: cards are advertised, sorted and priced by BIN.
Card dump
The magnetic-stripe data read off a payment card, sold for cloning into a physical one. Distinct from card-not-present data, priced higher, and slowly becoming a legacy good as chip and contactless spread.
Combolist
A recycled email:password list compiled from old breaches and other people's logs, resold in bulk. The fast food of the credential economy: cheap, stale, everywhere.
