Even though it sounds farfetched, this seems to be nothing more than a publicity stunt. According to BleepingComputer , BidenCash recently suffered
a devastating distributed denial of service ( DDoS ) attack. As a result, it was forced to set up new URLs.

To make sure it reaches as many cybercriminals as possible, BidenCash distributed the data dump via a clearnet domain, as well as via other hacking and carding forums.

The promotional offer kicked off last Friday and has since been confirmed as authentic by multiple sources, including BleepingComputer and D3Lab.
