Credit data stolen at Indian call centres

[Chris Walsh <cwalsh () cwalsh org>]

Credit card data, along with passport and driving licence numbers,  
are being stolen from call centres in India and sold to the highest  
bidder, an investigation has found.

Middlemen are offering bulk packages of tens of thousands of credit  
card numbers for sale. They even have access to taped telephone  
conversations in which British customers disclose sensitive security  
information to call centre staff.
