US authorities have charged 11 people in connection with the theft of the credit and debit card details of about 40 million people.

The US Department of JUSTICE believes it is the largest identity theft case it has ever prosecuted.

If anyone has a better website, post it.Didn't hear about this. Thanks for sharing, surprised with this being the biggest case the DoJ has dealt with that it's not in the news more.When I asked "Did anyone hear about this?", I didn't expect someone to say they hadn't.

It's all over the Irish news....

I'm very surprised that you haven't heard of it..... Being the biggest identity theft case ever in America.I thought the terrists found out how to control our nukes.Pink, please do not comment unless it relates to topic being discussed in thread.

I'm surprised as you kpac that I of all people hadn't heard about this since I often troll the computer news sites. I haven't heard about this either. It doesn't surprise me, though, because people in other countries often know more about what's GOING on here in the US than we do.A guy on the TV basically told everyone how they did it.....

The drove along the streets of a city, looking for Wi-Fi hotspots with WEAKNESSES. Once they were connected, they installed "free downloadable software from the web" onto the NETWORK, which allowed them access to huge databases of credit card and bank details.

What do you mean it makes no sense? I don't know exactly how they did..... If I did I would probably be trying something like that myself.
