Kinko's Spy Case Illustrates Public Terminal Risk

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the virtual-identity-theft dept.

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.
