Canada: 35,000 Credit Card Holders Compromised

John Stewart writes in The Mississauga News:

Confidential electronic credit card data for more than 35,000 individuals from all across North America was found by Peel Regional Police fraud investigators yesterday when they executed a search warrant at a Toronto residence.

As a result of the information obtained in the raid, a man who was arrested earlier by police at Pearson International Airport now faces a total of 36 fraud-related charges.

Police arrested a man at Pearson airport on Jan. 25 and charged him with possession of stolen credit cards and stolen identification, possession of counterfeit marks as well as possession of property obtained by crime.
