Hat-tip to the Kaspersky blog.

BBC reporters, posing as fraudsters, have bought UK names, addresses and
credit card details from a 'broker' of stolen data in Delhi, India. It
seems that one in seven of the cards they bought were valid. The BBC has
notified the owners of the stolen details.

The BBC ran the story [1] on this evening's News at Ten TV programme and
has posted details on its web site.

This is the second time this week that the BBC has dealt with those on the
wrong side of the law. Although this case differs from the previous one, we
still firmly believe it's the wrong way to highlight the dangers of
cybercrime.
