- It's tough to keep track of which federal agency is arresting who these days. If you thought it was the FBI, or possibly the FTC, going after online frauds and hackers, there's also the SEC, and they're happy to announce that they've caught a hacker and busted him for identity theft. Turns out the guy convinced people to download a "stock tracker" program that was really a key logger. Using that, he stole the password to someone's online brokerage account, and used that account to "buy" some worthless stock option contracts he held. The SEC is positively thrilled that they caught the guy soon after he pulled this off. |
