Carding story. Final part

Panic

Of course, it was a panic, it was not according to plan, it was stupid, reckless, absolutely stupid. How? Why? What for? How? Who! So many questions in my stoned head at the same time did not spin either before or after that terrible morning. At that moment, the panic receded and wild terror came. A project I worked on for hundreds of hours was on the verge of failure. Such large withdrawals from cards could very rarely go unnoticed in even at that time. I was completely sure. the consequences will not be avoided.

Who is to blame?

How it happened. it turned out pretty quickly on the same day… A business partner of a friend of mine, who was engaged in the selection of drop and the opening of LLC was leading several projects at that time, including ours. I won’t go into the details of his other topics, but our one seemed too slow to spin, and he wanted to hit the jackpot right here and now. And then one fine evening he threw a lot of alcohol and pills and decided to take this matter into his own hands and show everyone how to work. Taking from the stash of cool material with high balances, he began to drive them manually, one by one with a difference of a few minutes!!

Needless to say, the life of the billing system and the LLC itself stopped very quickly, I was beside myself with rage, I could not do anything to this person, except to pour endless curses on him in the chat. But I don’t think it meant anything to him. Hundreds of hours of painstaking work, a huge amount of strength and nerves were just *****ed up in a drunken stupor for half an hour. Can I blame that man for his boundless drunken stupidity? of course, but it is unlikely that this will bring any constructive results. Only. who I really had to blame at that moment and after is me. If you want to do something really cool-do it yourself!

We must draw conclusion!

If the mistakes you make leave only their consequences, then they were made in vain. The only good thing that mistakes bring is an invaluable experience and the ability to draw the right conclusions to avoid them in the future and not to step on the same rake many times! That experience taught me a lot. Of course, I did not leave this business, of course, I did not stop working with other people who had competencies that were not available to me. But for all my subsequent activities in this area, I always looked through the prism of that first experience, always assessed the risks and was extremely careful!

What now?

Now situation is completely different from that times I told you about. Almost every computer has an antivirus, all banks are not a little suffering from our brother is already well-versed in security systems. But there are also good news ) 10% of the world’s traffic is still Internet Explorer, there is a lot of mobile traffic and in general, people on the Internet has become much more, naturally increased the turnover of funds in e-Commerce. And they have increased at times! And of course it should be noted that naive asses didn’t exactly become less!

What should you focus on

First of all, you need to understand that working in our difficult business, you never actually work alone, with rare exceptions. Only brilliant coders can work alone, and even then, there may be a couple on the whole planet, since they still need to somehow implement and monetize the functionality of their products. Although we have chosen a solitary occupation, we still have to constantly communicate with our own kind, with sellers, buyers, engineers, coders. In general, everyone also takes part in the destruction of the global financial system )

Therefore, the first and most important thing you should focus your attention on is those with whom you interact, from whom you buy something, to whom you sell, through whom you make cashouts. Be as careful and accurate as possible when choosing business partners, services that you use, and do not forget to glue the camera on your laptop !!
