Arrests Made In Major Identity Theft Phishing Scam

The FBI, acting pursuant to "Operation Phish Fry", arrested dozens of suspects in Los Angeles, Nevada, North Carolina and Egypt in connection with the identity theft scam which used computer intrusion and fraud to obtain personal information that would enable them to withdraw money from peoples' bank accounts.

Typically, identity theft "phishing" scams use fake emails that direct people to a bogus website telling them they need to update their personal information such as passwords and account numbers.

All told, the FBI expects over 100 suspects will be arrested in connection with Operation Phish Fry which was launched specifically to take down identity theft phishing scams like this one.
