A new HIGH for LOWS for Internet Crime

One of the first reported extortion attemps for the internet in 2007 involves sending life threatening emails and demanding money. Another reason to give thanks for IC3.gov. BTW I am not associated with IC3 in anyway, but it seems all significant fraud related information seems to have them as a source or a stop point. My hats are off to these folks.

UCLA Fraud Alert

Internet based fraud is alive and well. If you are affiliated with, or have provided any financial information to the University of California Los Angeles, you need to take a look at the following URL. Hackers were able to gain access and steal financial information of up to 20,000 individuals. If you think you may be victim of this fraud you should contact http://www.identityalert.ucla.edu/

Huge kudos go out to UCLA for making this breach public and making people aware that their information may have been stolen.
