Credit card info and personal details galore posted to forums

....why the video? Well, because it took exactly 23 seconds to work out where a good chunk of the card details had come from. Plus, I really like the song so, you know, any excuse.

There's a pile of card details and personal info whizzing around a number of members-only sections on various cracking and warez forums. What sort of personal info? Well, how about card details, verification codes, PIN numbers, phone numbers, addresses, zipcodes.....etc etc.

Worse, it seems the collection isn't a static set of card details, but a constantly changing set of data patched together from a variety of different sources. It's like someone paid a fortune for different collections of super secret card details, then woke up stupid and shared it all with the entire (underground) world by accident.

Now lots of morons are running round going OMFG LOOK ITS CHRISTMAS LOL and pasting this stuff across Warez sites and the like.

How stupid are these guys pasting the info left, right and somewhere down the middle? Well, one lunatic I saw posted at least 3 sets of data, complete with

a) What is likely his real name as his forum handle
b) The name of his city under his forum avatar and
c) A HUGE ASSED PICTURE OF HIS FACE ON HIS SIGNATURE BANNER.

It's pretty likely a pro somewhere has screwed up pretty badly and is no doubt wondering how to escape his new home at the bottom of a pool of sinky-sand.

Meanwhile, teh kidz - sigh - are running wild with this information.
