Indian Call Centre Worker Sells Customer Details

Posted by Zonk on Thursday June 23, 2005 @01:34AM from the get-your-red-hot-moms-here dept.

lxt writes "A British tabloid newspaper managed to buy the personal details of over 1000 bank customers from an off-shore call centre based in Delhi. An IT worker at the call centre handed over details at £4.25 per customer, as well as credit card numbers and account passwords. He claimed could sell over 200,000 account details every month. The British police force has passed on details to Interpol and the Indian authorities, in an attempt to prosecute the individual. The BBC is also covering the story."

This kind of crap strikes me as racism
Wow... as soon as I saw the word "Indian" in the article summary, I knew that "You're a racist! You're a racist!" would invariably pepper any attempt at rational discussion... but I didn't think it would start three posts in. This must be a new record.
