A Thieves Market — The Internet
“When you think of the Internet underground, you probably don’t think about Burbank or Ventura, Calif.. But if you want to see what’s going on in the Web’s darkest corners, the Ventura Freeway is where you need to go…”
I have been a fan of Bob Sullivan’s MSNBC Red Tape Chronicles for a while now, and recently I had the time to go through some of his older articles, and I came across one I had missed — A Portal On Credit Card Crime.
I highly recommend that you read this article.
On it, I also found links to a Dateline special undercover series titled “To Catch an ID Thief”, which I had also missed. It too, is a “must read”, er.. “must see”. So I have provided links to the videos. (You will need to enable Flash.)
Amazing stuff here. I hope you’ll watch and learn, and tell your friends.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

Great to know, but I’m going to have to read these articles when I’m less hopped up on a soy green tea latte.

One article.
A series of videos.
Check ’em out when you get the chance. Very good reporting there, on a very important topic, as you know.
Soy green latte..? If I take those words separately, I understand them.. Soy (milk), green (tea), and foam?
I’m afraid it’s just plain-old cowboy style coffee for me.
And Pepsi.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, and keep up the good work on 411-Spyware.com
