Hacked user accounts are exploited to redeem or transfer stored gift card balances.

Payment Fraud and Chargebacks

Gift cards are purchased using stolen credit cards, leading to chargebacks and revenue loss.

Social Engineering Scams

Phishing campaigns trick users into revealing gift card codes or login credentials.
