Hacking, Why Not?

Red Bank, April 4, 2009/The FraudBlog Newsletter/- Recent congressional hearings have shown evidence that terrorists are more involved than previously believed in cybercrime. In short, evidence suggests terrorists are actively training new recruits on how to hack into computer systems, perform phishing operations and to move money using stolen credit cards and bank accounts. In his jailhouse manifesto, Imam Samudra (linked to the Bali terrorist bombing), urged his Muslim radical comrades to declare holy war not on the battlefield, but rather in cyberspace. Imam describes how America's computer infrastructure and networks are vulnerable to hacking, credit card and money laundering.
