A Romanian used the Internet to install spyware in point-of-sale systems at 36 large discount stores, restaurants and gas stations in Korea, then stole card information from 95,266 customers last August. The Romanian sold the data to Malaysian traffickers, who in turn sold part of it to four men whom police arrested Sunday.

Interesting find. I didn't see this one. I can't say I am surprised about the nationality of the perpetrator.

Win!

This is quite the year for arrests and convictions. It's only mid-April!

Maybe not, but he got arrested -- that's news.
