Police apprehend Romanian phishing gang

Romanian police have exposed a gang of criminals who fraudulently gained online access to bank accounts and for months, continued to draw money from these accounts. The gang is said, since October 2009, to have obtained sensitive data, such as online banking and credit card user names and passwords, via phishing attacks. Most of the suspects come from the Romanian city of Constanta on the Black Sea coast. Romanian authorities collaborated with US agencies in investigating the case. The damages incurred amount to approximately $1 million (665,000)”]
