Folks
I received this from another mailing list, and thought it may be of interest
generally...

>>From one of my US press report services this morning

>dcWIRE: Miscellaneous
> Carlos Salgado, Jr. pleaded guilty on Monday to four of five counts in a
>federal indictment accusing him of hacking systems to gather credit card
>information which he intended to sell on the black market. When Mr. Salgado
>was arrested, he had in his possession an encrypted CD-ROM containing roughly
>100,000 credit card numbers stolen from companies doing business over the
>Internet. The Computer Security Institute has published the "CSI Special
>Report on the Salgado Case" which details the case and provides some insights
>into the "dark side of electronic commerce." [Computer Security Institute,

A bit of a worry...
