40 Million Identities Up For Sale On the Web
An anonymous reader writes "Highly sensitive financial information, including credit card details, bank account numbers, telephone numbers, and even PINs are available to the highest bidder. The information being traded on the Web has been intercepted by a British company and collated into a single database for the first time. The Lucid Intelligence database contains the records of 40 million people worldwide, mostly Americans; four million are Britons. Security experts described the database as the largest of its kind in the world. The database is in the hands of Colin Holder, a retired senior Metropolitan police officer who served on the fraud squad. He has collected the information over the past four years. His sources include law enforcement from around the world, such as British police and the FBI, anti-phishing and hacking campaigners, and members of the public. Mr. Holder said he has invested £160,000 in the venture so far. He plans to offset the cost by charging members of the public for access to his database to check whether their data security has been breached."

I guess we're just supposed to take his word that we'll be able to keep our current insurance if we choose to, and that our taxes won't go up a single penny if we make under $250k (or whatever arbitrary amount he's picked this week). I for one don't trust that insane, power-hungry bitch Pelosi enough to take Obama at his word on a bill that he's admittedly not familiar with. Dude, you're the President. You're supposed to know what your subordinates are up to. Do you have something better to do? You wanted the job, now sack up!
