Hi, Thanks for all the emails I received. Just to make a few points of clarification in regards to our specific situation... - The credit cards being used were not stolen on the Internet, as not all of the cardholders involved in these related incidents had made purchases on the Internet. - The person or persons using these stolen cards had all the correct information (such as address and even phone number, which is how we were able to contact each cardholder). - We traced at least one of these incidents back through some proxies to a residential DSL line in the US, and I'm sure the Internet provider could furnish whomever [under subpoena] with name and address. I'm going to contact a few of the people who emailed me, but it sounds like from the other half of the emails I received, very few law enforcement agencies are interested in making arrests these days. If this is the case, I'm wondering what reporting this to the media would do. A story about how the government lets theifs run free sounds like it'd be enough to get some government organizations to shape up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
