Kinko's Spy Case Illustrates Public Terminal Risk

tealwarrior writes "CNN reports in this story that a hacker by the name of Jiang was charged with installing keystroke loggers to record passwords in 14 differnet kinkos in New York. These were then used to open bank accounts online. The article mentions Jiang signing people up for accounts with GoToMyPC then then using their own machine to open bank accounts. Also mentioned are similar schemes perpetrated at Boston College." Be careful out there, folks. Sometimes there's even sneakier things than just stealing one's cookies.

I know Google is soooo hard to use.

Just to let you know, Kinko's has locations in the UK, Australia, Japan and several other countries. Here are some in London.

Also, by the way, Citizens of the United States are American. Citizens of the United Kingdom are British. You get the idea. 2 strikes against you.
