Good new news related to Citibank ATM network case: "Citibank officials monitoring their network for fraud on Thursday, May 8, noticed suspicious ATM transactions at 8:30 p.m., coming through the five cash machines in the vestibule of a Citibank branch at 65th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City's Upper East Side. As luck would have it, a bank employee -- probably a corporate security official -- was already staking out the branch from across the street." --clip-- and later: "But the arrests didn't stop the fraud, which sprang from perhaps the most serious computer intrusion into a bank system to date. The FBI has recently made at least six more arrests in New York -- bringing the total to 10 -- thanks to information from arrested scam suspects, a lucky traffic stop, and an undercover operation that at one point had Eastern European hackers chasing a female FBI agent through the streets of New York, trying to mug her for ATM-card-programming gear." --clip-- More at http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/fbi-arrests-six.html Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
