From KVOA.com Tucson AZ http://tinyurl.com/597zs9 Hundreds of receipts reveal the risk of identity theft The Investigators found credit card numbers blowing in the wind for anyone to see. These piles and papers strewn across the alley contain hundreds of old receipts from Domino's Pizza stores. When we got a call about this, we went down to University Avenue and Euclid and saw these receipts were three, four, and even five years old. We contacted the former owner of 24 Domino's Pizza stores in Tucson. She won't talk with us on-camera, but told us she'd been discarding boxes of old records near her home and somehow all those receipts got loose. [...] The Investigators contacted the Federal Trade Commission in Washington and they say thieves could potentially use discarded credit card numbers even if the card has expired. The numbers on the card in many cases are still the same. [...] In this case, the Investigators contacted Tucson Police and several officers came to collect the records we found and have them destroyed. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
