"The head of Interpol has warned that cyber-crime is the 'most dangerous criminal threat we will ever face'
after fraudsters stole his identity on Facebook.

Security chief Ronald K. Noble revealed that two fake accounts were created in his name
and used to find the details of highly-dangerous criminals."

According to news sources the identity was stolen during the summer already. But Noble was not aware until now.
