All the news that's... whatever. Welcome to Random Bytes... Saturday, September 14, 2002   60,000 Credit Card Numbers Stolen from Verisign Reseller     According to this story over at MSNBC, Spitfire Novelties, said its credit card transaction processor, Online Data Corp a Verisign reseller, approved some 62,000 of the apparently false charges, valued at over $300,000. “There wasn’t a system in place to say, ‘you’ve generated 140,000 charges, that’s more than your normal volume,’” the Spitfire CEO said. I wonder if this has anything to do with some of the courses offered by Verisign in the middle-east ;)     4:18:18 PM   © Copyright 2003 Ross Wm. Rader.
