Thousands of customers of a leading US security company are due to be given specialised identity theft protection after computer hackers linked to the Anonymous group claimed to have diverted more than $500,000 from their private bank accounts to charities including the Red Cross, CARE and Save the Children. (...)The company's chief executive, George Friedman, has told clients, which include several US government departments, foreign embassies, Interpol, the US army and the United Nations, that by Wednesday they will have received "identity theft protection and monitoring".
In the meantime, he urged them to regularly check their accounts and credit reports and issued his "sincerest apologies" for the security breach, which makes it possible for anyone with access to the internet to download thousands of credit card account details, complete with security codes, in less than a minute.
