Fullz

"Fullz" is cybercriminal slang for a complete set of stolen personal information that includes a person’s full name, Social Security number, date of birth, address, phone number, email, and often banking or credit card details. In the underground economy, a “fullz” package is considered highly valuable because it enables fraudsters to commit identity theft, open fraudulent accounts, or apply for loans in someone else’s name.

About Fullz

What does Fullz mean?

The term "fullz" comes from "full information." It implies that the data set is complete enough to impersonate someone entirely in financial systems or digital identity frameworks. Unlike partial data (like just a credit card number), fullz allow for more comprehensive identity fraud.

What are other fraudster slang terms commonly used?

Cybercriminal forums use a wide range of jargon. "Bins" refers to the first six digits of a credit card used to identify the issuing bank. “Dumps” are data extracted directly from the magnetic stripe of a card. “Cloned cards” are physical copies created using dumps. “Drop” refers to a fake delivery address used to receive goods. “Carding” is the act of using stolen cards online, and “checker” is a tool used to validate if a stolen card is still active.

What impact does Fullz have on business?

Businesses face enormous risks when fullz data is used to create fake accounts, file false claims, or conduct unauthorized transactions. It increases chargebacks, damages customer trust, and creates compliance and liability issues. Moreover, when fullz are used to bypass identity verification systems, companies not only lose money but may also be fined for failing to prevent the fraud or protect customer data. --- ###
