Online crime up in 2003
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-12-24

It seems 2003 was a productive year for phishers, online auction scammers and Nigerians professing a deep sense of purpose and utmost sincerity, judging from the latest stats from the Internet Fraud Complaint Center.

Online crime up in 2003- IC3 crime complaint filing 2003-12-30

the ic3 complaint filing process has a hole in the protection of your personal data submitted. they do not disclose this on their privacy disclosure.

even though you submit using secure http forms they produce a report containing your submittal, including private data, and e.mail it back to the submitter in the clear.

i have sent them a stern comment on this practice and asked them to fix it immediately.

as of this writing i have had no response.
