Hackers prepare supermarket sweep
Matt "Maxel" - August 29th, 2008 7:51 PM
Self-Checkout systems in UK supermarkets are now the new targets for hackers as they have found a way to get easy money and/or high value goods that could be sold on for a big profit.
The supermarkets targeted said there was little chance the fraudsters would make significant gains with their plan.
With the help of computer security experts the BBC found a discussion on a card fraud website in which hi-tech thieves debated the best way to strip money from the US accounts.
The thieves claim to have comprehensive details of US credit and debit cards passed to them from an American gang who tapped phone lines between cash machines and banks.
