KYC pack
A set of identity documents assembled to pass a verification check: ID scans, a selfie holding the document, a utility bill, sometimes a short video. Sold to open accounts in someone else's name.
Why it matters to you
Document-based verification assumes the document is in its owner's hands. Where a KYC pack exists, the check has to rest on liveness and device signals rather than on the scan.
Where we meet it
These are sold by country, because the paperwork differs by country. A rise in packs for one jurisdiction is a signal aimed squarely at the institutions that verify there.
Connected terms
Fullz
A complete identity kit for one person (name, national ID, date of birth, address, banking details) packaged for fraud. Sold per record, priced by country and completeness.
Database dump
The raw export of a breached application's tables, traded whole before it is broken up into combolists. Structure intact: emails, hashes, addresses, order history, whatever the schema held.
Drop
A money or goods mule: the recruited (sometimes unwitting) person whose bank account or address launders the proceeds. Recruited openly, in "work" channels, at scale.

Knowing the word is the cheap half. The platform is the half where the term arrives attached to your domain, with a timestamp and the source it came from.
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.
