Theives go on $45k shopping spree after stealing 2-> 1

mask.of.sanity writes "Thieves have made off with $45k after they intercepted a victim's two factor online banking codes used to verify large transactions.

The scammers got the Australian executive's mobile number from his daughter, and work place details from his willing secretary.

Armed with this data, they bluffed Vodafone which ported his phone number, meaning the criminals could verify the bank's two factor verification codes generated during their spending spree and the victim never knew a thing."

Would you buy this CD or download it?-> 0

An anonymous reader writes "Paul Potts won the British TV show "Britain has Talent" with this opera song. His CD "One Chance" was released about two weeks ago. A real Cinderella story: a mobile phone salesman; not very good looking, blows the world away with sheer talent. YouTube has more than 5000 comments from stunned viewers. For the first time in 10 years I went to a music shop to buy a CD — because of the awesome talent and modest attitude of the artist. RIAA take note: I don't mind paying for quality. My question to Slashdotters: will you buy this CD or just download?"
