After more than $75 million in bogus credit card charges, several Cuban nationals in Florida have been arrested with more than 200,000 credit card account numbers, <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2156263,00.asp?kc=EWKNLNAV071107STR4">many of which came from the TJX and Polo Ralph Lauren data breaches,</A> according to U.S. Secret Service officials, commenting on the July 9 announced arrests.
The numbers were sent to the Florida defendants, who specialize in manufacturing bogus credit cards complete with embossing, logos, holograms and properly encoded magnetic strips, from a group of Eastern European residents who specialize in collecting the stolen credit card numbers, the Secret Service said.
