Knowledge here about the encryption doesn't lead to a better brute-force attack either, and they'll be missing information most sellers ask for, like billing address, CVV # and expiration date of the card (with the last two being the deal killer, usually). Phishing and attacks on corporate databases are a lot more fruitful for less or equal effort.
