Gambling Site Ex-Employee Responsible for 150 ID Thefts
Speaking of inside threats, while they might have fun stealing from customers and shaking their employers’ credibility and making them loose money, some of them actually get caught. This happened to a former employee of an internet-based gambling website who has recently pleaded guilty of having stolen the identities of 150 customers of the site in question.
According to the Register, Canadian Patrick Kalonji stole the victims’ names, birth dates, addresses, mothers’ maiden names, social security numbers, and other personal details between July 2002 and August 2004 while working for BetOnSports.com. Using two Yahoo personal email accounts, he shared the information with others who booked no more and no less than roundtrip plane tickets from Nigeria to New York!
