Scam
Shows E-Commerce Weakness: Credit-card scam exposes more security holes in
online commerce.
A mysterious credit-card scam involving more than 100,000 bogus Internet transactions
has delivered another alarming reminder about online commerce's security weaknesses.
Although no money was actually transferred in the scheme, more than 60,000 of the illicit transactions received authorization codes during a con job exposed late last week.
The
authorization codes verified the validity of those account numbers, opening
the door for more widespread theft had the ruse not been detected.
