Another massive ID theft uncovered.

An international identity theft ring has infiltrated 50 banks according to this report, and this one as well. Apparently the FBI is investigating, but there are few details so far. However, the method described is pretty frightening, particularly with respect to the supposed co-opting of zombie computers inside a bank's internal network which are then used to send the indentity data to a remote server outside the network.
