The FBI's Cybercrime CrackdownContinued from page 2
Masked Men and Dead Ends Day's bust in the Bricsnet case was unusual for its speed and for the resulting conviction. That's because many crimes are perpetrated with stolen usernames and passwords. In the Bricsnet case, for instance, McKenna had broken into the company's computers using his former supervisor's username and password. The key to cracking the Bricsnet case was caller ID and automatic number identification (ANI), two technologies more and more Internet service providers are using to automatically record the phone numbers of people dialing up their servers. When a crime is committed over a telephone line, this information is invaluable. |
