The local police have confirmed that the Romanian hackers have somehow managed to steal over $25,000,000 from 500,000 Australian credit cards. This is quite a sum for just four people, and they must be carefully hiding from the police to not get caught after all.

The country’s Federal Police had to confirm that they were working with law enforcement agencies all over the world in the attempt to tackle the organized hackers. The intrusion seems to have come after the attackers took out a number of merchants whose individual computer systems appeared to be compromised.

Media reports say that there’s evidence that the same hacker group has been responsible for a hack of the American chain of Subway restaurants.

Four citizens of Romania have been charged over millions of dollars in credit card fraud that affected around 80,000 bank customers. The so-called “syndicate” used to find its victims by simply scanning the web for vulnerable point of sale terminals. The police of Australia claimed that the borderless nature of this crime would cause much of the new headaches for the law enforcement authorities. The matter is that not only do the police need to co-operate with other police forces, but also require international and private sector co-operation in order to track and to take down the criminals.

However, this is obviously not very easy to do. The police can’t take down the hackers because they are finding even softer targets with local chippies with insecure point of sale machines than the attackers do with either banks or supermarket chains. So, the bank customers are still under threat, and the police can’t promise the safety for their money.

thanks for the post

Do you think there is a difference who are they stealing from ?
Stealing is the same whoever you are stealing from.

They are not Robin Hood man...
They won't share the money with poor people.
They are fucking Romanian thieves. They will keep the cash for their fucking selves.

Don't try to find find something that would make your copatriots look like good guys.

u are right
a thief is a thief

It's very sad that many Romanians are actually good people, just seems that most of the ones that have an Internet connection seem to think it's a gateway to scam, rob and rip people off.
Very very sad because in the future I can see most Romanian ip's blacklisted from most mainstream sites, that's what happens when youths have to much time on their hands with high speed connections.
They need to be put over someones knee and punished for being the fuckers they are, it's getting to the stage that because of a select minority of Romanian scumbags the rest of the population is suffering the outcome.

With all these scams, and ATM phishing, it's becoming safer just to use cash. I keep as little as possible in my card accounts.
