A women who I work with (bit of a numpty, looks like a bloke in drag) claims that she has been the victim of identity theft.
I asked her how it happened and this is what she said.....
Her son plays online games and had an account with a game site, someone has then guessed his password, 'hacked' into his account there and then somehow manged to send a trojan horse to their PC which got hold of all her cookies and hence her credit card details. She claims she's been had for £25,000.
She wasn't able to answer any of my probing questions but went on to say that they have to pay the money back as although the police have 'confirmed' the identity theft that they don't believe her as her husband was done for fraud last year. Hmmm
Weird, but is this possible. The identity theft from cookies bit?
