Apparently, criminals in the Heartland Payments Services, Hannaford Brothers, and 7-11 hacks have been indicted and arrested for their crimes.  According to this Wall Street Journal Article, they netted around 130 million credit card and debit card numbers, and were responsible for the TJX breach as well (which were 40 million cards).  These compromised cards were sent to different sites within the United States and overseas to Latvia, the Netherlands, and Ukraine (no surprise there).  Do you think that this may be one of the reasons that the "price" for compromised cards has gone down in the black market.

Some of these criminals must learn the rules of free market supply and demand.
