Shopping by credit card could save big surprises in your bank statement of account, not to mention additional costs such as bank rates … So what? According to an “enterprising” group of cyber-crooks the solution could be to buy fake US-based credit cards on the Internet for as little as one dollar, the Agence France Press reported today. According to a report by Symantec,the activity of cyber fraudsters is growing day by day specifically about "targeted malicious code for the purpose of stealing confidential information that can be used for financial gain." "Cyber criminals continue to refine their attack methods in an attempt to remain undetected and to create global, cooperative networks to support the ongoing growth of criminal activity," the Internet Security Threat Report noted. Through such networks ( whose 51% is located in the USA), cyber criminals sell stolen information, personal id numbers, credit cards, e-mail addresses lists and other sensitive data.Indeed not only credit cards were sold for between 1 and 6 US dollars, but also full sets of data for a fake identity , including US bank account, credit card, date of birth and government issued identification number were available for between 14 and 18 dollars. Also available: Online bank accounts with a 9,900-dollar balance for 300 US dollars; PayPal accounts for 10 to 500 US dollars and a list of 2,900 e-mail addresses for three US dollars. Most of these “particular items”, come from phishing attacks or cyber attacks in which an attacker infected a number of computers to gain access to passwords and other sensitive information.
