Security researcher discovers stolen data stash
Researchers at a security vendor have discovered data on stolen identities from 125 countries that were apparently grabbed through a new variant of a Trojan horse program. The stolen data, featuring names, phone numbers, social security numbers and even user logins and passwords, was found on a password-protected FTP server in the U.S. The FBI is investigating the discovery.
