Stolen-Data Trove Shut Down, Shows What Hackers Can Get

TechNewsWorld has an interesting article about what was found in a stolen-data trove that was shut down this month. The repository stored data from 160K infected computers illustrated the level of detail botnets can get. Crazy stuff.


Ordinary Internet sessions are logged in great detail. One Southern California 22-year-old could be seen registering a domain name with GoDaddy.com, changing his Yahoo e-mail password and ordering a meal online from Pizza Hut. His credit card number, birth date, telephone number, address and passwords are now all in criminals' hands, though it's unclear what, if anything, criminals have done with the information yet.
 
Boy, I would love to get my hands of that data before the cops. These hackers should spread some love around.
