If you want an eye-opening look at what happens to stolen data, check out Evan Schuman's story on the breaking news out of Florida that an $8M gift card scam has been linked directly to the TJX breach. In fact, it's probably this scam that tipped TJX off that they had a problem. It really gives you a glimpse into just how easily stolen data can be used to create authentic looking credit cards and leveraged to turn data into cash.
It should really give anyone involved in security reason to pause as you consider how many people are actively looking for ways to take advantage of your organization. Sad, really.
They should be punished by the cyber crime department.
