Something like that.

In this case, the thieves might have failed by being too successful. It's hard to unload hundreds of millions of stolen credit card numbers on the black market.

Geek, that was total sarcasm. Although you can't tell on a forum. I can't believe they don't have working [sarcasm] tags!

    If he was smart enough to sell them a little at a time he would have plenty of money...instead of plenty of trouble.

    So, what is your recommendation? Lots of 100,00 maybe?
    Really, if I had even 100 numbers that I could use I might consider a long trip overseas. But stealing 130 million numbers is beyond my understanding. If you made one transaction a minute, how long would it take you to max out just a million credit cartds? I would grues about seven years working 24 by 7 and no sleep.

    Maybe we should move this to the DOS section and ask how to write a batch fill that can process one million credit card numbers before they catch you.

    Not to Boni if he is watching: The is not about copyright infringement ofr password cracking. Merely using stolen credit card numbers, which, apparently, must not be a very serious matter until you get into the millions.


    Just kidding!

    Well the site did say credit card info usually gets sold in batches of less than 10 000.
