A Burger, an Order of Fries, and Your Credit Card Number

Rich Mogull, an information security analyst who runs a company called Securosis, explains that a typical cybercrime works something like this. First, a hacker?often in Russia, but sometimes in the United States, Romania, Vietnam, or elsewhere?uses special software to scan a portion of the Internet for IP addresses that look like they might belong to the servers restaurants and retailers use to transmit credit and debit card data. When they find them, they send that information to another program that starts trying common passwords to log into the server remotely.
