Just saw this on Crack Baby & thought I'd post it here...
Apparently, Google has a handy feature that lets you search ranges of numbers/text. So a search for "visa 4356000000000000..4356999999999999", for instance, will retrieve all pages that list the word "visa" along with valid card numbers. What you get is about 23 pages from sites you should never shop at.
See it in action... |

Of course most of those hits are on pages that site an example visa number (which wouldn't work).
One appears to be a posting of stolen card numbers on some french site.
On appears to be a text file batch of orders from "karatemall.com", but at some university in Indonesia, which I doubt is where karatemall.com stores their orders, and thus is probably a list of stolen visa numbers.
So this just leads me to believe that I should avoid KarateMall.com, but not much else. And since their shopping cart is not secured by SSL, I wouldn't be shopping there anyway. |

| Hmph. Looks like slashdot's finally gotten around to covering this story. If only their moderators subscribed to the Shiny Donkey XML feed... |
