Dozens Charged With Running Computer Crime Ring

This case is about an international computer crime that steals personal financial data from computer users and their financial institutions.

HOW?
One of the prevalent computer crimes is PHISHING; it means the act of attempting to acquire sensitive personal information dishonetly and trough deception.
In this case perpetrators usually send fraudulent e-mails to unaware computer users to phony internet sites that ask for sensitive personal data, such as Social Security numbers and financial account numbers. The tricky e-mails are designed how they seem original, legal and somehow they originated from legitimate banks, financial institutions or other companies.

Phishers also may include attachments to their e-mail that, when opened, secretly install "spyware" that can capture personal information and send it to third parties over the Internet.

The main and final goal of the criminals is to use the confidential information to empty victim bank accounts or run up credit card debt.
The fraudulent People's e-mail told recipients that, "For your security, the profile that you are using to access people's Bank Online Banking has been locked because of too many failed login attempts." It gave recipients options to unlock their accounts that included transmitting credit and debit card account numbers, Social Security numbers and personal identification codes.

AGAIN FRAUDULANT  E-MAILS!!!!!!


Most of us have experienced  to recieve fraudulent e-mails many times. One of the best way to avoid such these problems is to delete all of e-mails that we are not sure about their senders. Another way; DON`T TRUST everyone and everything, specially about financial cases. If you recieve an e-mail including  to ask your personal information or financial information NEVER reply it.
