Huge Credit Fraud Ring Sends Europeans' Data To Pakistan

Posted by timothy on from the we-keep-our-biggest-credit-thieves-in-d.c. dept.

marshotel excerpts from a story at the Wall Street Journal: "European law-enforcement officials uncovered a highly sophisticated credit-card fraud ring that funnels account data to Pakistan from hundreds of grocery-store card machines across Europe, according to U.S. intelligence officials and other people familiar with the case. Specialists say the theft technology is the most advanced they have seen, and a person close to British law enforcement said it has affected big retailers including a British unit of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Tesco Ltd."

    Seems a small compensation for 150 years of British Grand theivery of India among many other nations. Britain is built upon stolen loot mainly from India, so let them bring the wealth back one credit card at a time.

    btw while you all are at it, can you try to recover the Koh-i-Noor diamonds stolen by the Queen of thieves.
