The banking details of thousands of Australians have been revealed and
an international police investigation jeopardised in a bungle by
Australia's peak internet crime-fighting agency.

The details of 3500 customers from 18 banks, including names and

Russian mafia "phishing" scams was misplaced by the Australian High
Tech Crime Centre in April last year.
