Dutch police say a digital forensic investigation revealed 20,000 stolen email addresses and passwords. The investigation began in November 2014 after police received a report that someone illegally tricked a victim into ordering goods. Police say the suspect passed himself off as a legitimate developer and built websites that included e-commerce capabilities for numerous businesses. He allegedly installed a script in the sites that captured customers’ email addresses, which he then used to access those individuals’ email and social media accounts. At least 140 related cases had been opened in October 2016, when police reported that they’d already approached affected companies.”]
