Zdziarski [mailto:jonathanat_private] Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 5:24 PM To: incidentsat_private Subject: Stolen Card Purchases We've seen a significant increase in the number of stolen credit card purchase [attempts] made on our website recently, and I'm wondering if anyone has had very good experience in convincing any legal arm to take action. We have sent three related incidents to the Secret Service, who will not touch it unless there's at least $50,000 involved. Unfortunately, most local law enforcement agencies are impotent at such issues. We traced the first attempt back through an open proxy where the administrator even sent us enough information to track him back to a residential DSL line, but nobody's willing to put in even a little work to go and subpoena the data and make an arrest. We're getting pretty sick of having to feel "paranoid" when customers purchase our products, so I'm hoping some of you may have had more luck than I have thus far in dealing with such issues. Any creative comments would be appreciated. Jonathan A.
