From WWNY TV Watertown NY http://tinyurl.com/6kdvmk Canton police are investigating the theft of thousands of dollars from local bank accounts in what is being described as a major identity theft ring. The trouble all started when someone apparently hacked into the Canton WiseBuys store computer system during a changeover between December 5 and December 20. The hacker obtained personal identification and banking numbers of hundreds of customers. Hundreds of complaints have been coming in almost daily to the police station since the thefts first began being discovered by cardholders in early March. Police say close to $100,000 was fraudulently taken in what police are describing as an “organized ring”. Most of the illegal transactions were discovered when customers received their bank statements.
