Three Indicted In Huge Identity/Data Breach
ScentCone and other readers let us know about an indictment just unsealed in federal court for stealing 130 million credit cards and other data useful in identity theft, or just plain money theft. The breaches were at payment processor Heartland (accounting for the bulk of the 130M), Hannaford, 7-11, and two unnamed "national retailers." Interestingly, the focus of the indictment, Albert "Segvec" Gonzalez, is currently awaiting trial for masterminding the TJX break-in, which until Heartland counted as the largest credit-card theft ever. The indictment cites SQL injection attacks as the entry vector. Two unnamed Russia-based conspirators were also indicted. Securosis has analysis of the security implications of the breach ("These appear to be preventable attacks using common security controls. It's possible some advanced techniques were used, but I doubt it") and the attackers' methodology.

The nickname of this guy Gonzalez after a few months in federal prison?
I'm sorry, I'll go away.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
It's unbelieveable that Mexicans have gone from fagging around with their "vatos" in street gangs and stealing cheap Nikes to stealing credit card information online.
I recommend a method wherein we inscribe some sort of Mark on the right hand or the Forehead to identify people.....Meh yea. lets go that route.
