Merchant Alarm is powered by the CardCops database of compromised credit card data. This data is gathered in real-time from the very same online black markets where tens of thousands of times a day, new banking information, credit card numbers, and even entire identities are traded. What makes Merchant Alarm so unique and effective is that CardCops typically captures this compromised data prior to being used to commit fraud. Comparatively, a bank or a processor is not aware of a compromise to a debit / credit card until either being notified by the card holder or until the card is used to commit fraud at a few online retailers' websites.
