A cheap promotional gimmick. Publish credit card numbers on the web and mention it in chat rooms. Huh? You mean the information proliferated? Wow.

It would be interesting to see if they publish a follow up telling us how many credit card criminals they catch. I'm guessing the final figure will be approximately none. Never mind though - great publicity, eh?

Good to see that they are making the web a place for commerce by scaring the sh*t out of web users. Bravo Cardcops.com on setting back eCommerce another 2 years.
