Hacking Ring Nabbed By US Authorities
Slatterz writes "The members of a hacking ring responsible for stealing more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers from retail organizations in the US have been caught and charged. The case before the US Department of Justice is believed to be the largest hacking and identity theft case ever prosecuted. The criminals allegedly obtained bank details by hacking into the retailers' computer networks and then installing 'sniffer' programs to capture card numbers and password details as the customers moved through the retailers' credit and debit processing networks."

Of course not. After all, they caught the people that abused it. Why waste money to protect something from criminals when the criminals were already caught. Nobody would dare to try it again.

So, who foots the bill for this? The retailer, the credit card comany / debit card issuer, or the customer?
The credit card company raises my rates to cover their expenses, the government uses my taxes to pay for the investigation and prosecution, looks like I'm paying for it!
Drinks for everyone! Here, use my card!
He is just doing 'identity theft' of hackers.
