Interesting fraud tactic, brute forcing to find legitimate debit card
numbers rather than having to steal the info.  Also mentions how
Mint.com alerted affected members once they detected the anomoly.
Anyone here use Mint?  I've always avoided them because their service
seems like a big, fat bullseye.  Maybe there's some value to them?
