British identity theft article

Sunday Times broke a story on stolen identities (credit card details etc) sold on a Russian website.

The website, carder.info, is now offline.

There was an earlier story, and I found a long version of it on an Infosec discussion list.

We’ve had comment spam on here that offered skimmers for sale, and also (if I remember correctly) credit card details.
It’s also interesting to note that only some of the victims of this site knew something was wrong with their computer.
