McAfee Monitors Money Mules

I have written several times before about how Phishers, fraudsters and identity thieves need package or money mules in order to help them move their illicit cargo of credit cards or cash around. 

One great example of hackers looking for new money mules is the recent breach at Monster.Com.  You can read about it here and here and another story about Carders is here.

McAfee Avert blog shows how they have found sites in the UK that are designed to attract prospective mules.  Click over there to check it out. 

I have long said that if phishers and other online criminals can engage in identity theft for profit, what is stopping Al Queda or other terrorist supporting organizations from doing the same?  It would be awful if the next terror attack was financed by money stolen from unsuspecting Americans.  Remember, if you get an email from a potential employer saying that you can work from home and earn big bucks by just mailing packages out, don’t take the job.
