The Russians are the kings of this stuff.

RSA FraudAction Research Lab has discovered log-in information for about 300,000 online bank accounts and 250,000 credit and debit card accounts that have been gathered by a cybercrime gang over the past three years using the Sinowal Trojan.

The Trojan is programmed to execute when the victim visits a particular banking or financial Web site; it is triggered by more than 2,700 specific URLs, according to RSA. The malware then inserts additional fields into the victim's browser prompting the victim to type in information such as PIN and Social Security number, which the Web site itself does not ask for.

The account information has been stolen since at least February 2006, uninterrupted, and includes e-mail and FTP accounts, according to RSA.

Thats why I never use my PC to do do any of my financial dealings or banking .There are so many tracks left behind that most people are not aware of .

Identity theft is the fastest growing crime .

And here I was thinking this thread was going to be about an athlete that screwed over by a gold digger.
