However, if someone just obtains your credit card number or internet banking login it's usually called 'Access Device Fraud', read the law. Fraud is a very diverse crime/field of work.

Build a network of trusted people/companies to do business with and do business with them only. Take advantage of the fact you are covered by banks ( in most countries ) with Zero Liability for fraudelent charges, if you're credit card data has been compromised and somebody else has used it.

Security is nothing more then a feeling of being safe, it's an evolved (result?) human emotion, stemming from social conditioning (imho). Anyone who operates a computer and wants to be safe from 'ID theft', remember this: THE WEAKNESS IS ALWAYS THE USER THE WEAKNESS IS ALWAYS THE USER There is no such thing as security.

There's thousands of people out there just like this guy, who isn't me. It's an industry. The hackers hide behind VPNs and infected 'zombie' computers, anyone can be a zombie, it's just a Port-Redirect or Socks proxy opened up on your infected computer. You can chain proxies too ( make it go thru multiple - bouncing - hosts ) In this industry business is conducted online, and people are just getting better and better at this.

I won't share files on my computer. As for not signing the back of the card, not everyone checks the back of the card. What's worse, you can sign it in front of them AND they will accept it.
