SECURITY ALERT
11 Charged in Massive Credit Card Fraud Case
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday August 5, 2008 the indictment of 11 people whom they say stole millions of credit and debit card numbers from major retailers in the nation's largest case of identity theft.
The 11 people, including 3 Americans, allegedly targeted such retailers as TJX Companies, BJ's Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Boston Market, Barnes and Noble, Sports Authority, Forever 21 and DSW. Officials say the suspects were able to tap into computer networks using a technique called "war driving." Once they found a retailers network, officials alleged the men would hack into the system and install "sniffer programs" which would then relay sensitive card information back to the men.
Officials still have not identified all of the people who may have had card numbers stolen and suspect that there are a large number of people unaware that their identifying information has been compromised. Federal Officials are encouraging those who think they may have been affected by the ID theft scheme to contact their bank.
