An extremely well written story in today’s NYTimes about that subject we all here about too often, but never quite get all the details.
Stolen Lives

Free MP3's, free software and free everything.....People work really hard for eight hours a day and make minimum wage. And he knows he can get out and make the same thing with the computer in half an hour.....what a great country this is.
Did you know that CitiBank recently had a major breach of security; thousands of Credit Card numbers were compromised.
I heard at dinner last night how a relative of mine received a taped phone message from CitiBank asking him for his zip code, he hung-up and called CitiBank directly. It was then he learned that his Credit Card and thousands of others needed to be canceled and replaced immediately.
I have searched in all the usual places and cannot find any mention in the media about this incident.
