Thieves Steal Herman Munster's Identity
Jun 20, 1:39 PM EST
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Did Internet thieves steal Herman Munster's MasterCard
number?
Crooks in an underground chat room for selling stolen credit card
numbers and personal consumer information offered pilfered data
purportedly about Herman Munster, the 1960s Frankenstein-like character
from "The Munsters" TV sitcom.
The thieves apparently didn't realize Munster was a fictional TV
character and dutifully offered to sell Munster's personal details —
accurately listing his home address from the television series as 1313
Mocking Bird Lane — and what appeared to be his MasterCard number.
Munster's birth date was listed as Aug. 15, 1964, suspiciously close to
the TV series' original air date in September 1964.
CardCops Inc., the Malibu, Calif., Internet security company that
quietly recorded details of the illicit but wayward transaction,
surmised that a Munsters fan knowledgeable about the show deliberately
provided the bogus data.
"The identity thief thought it was good data," said Dan Clements, the
company's president.
Clements said evidence indicates the thief, known online as "Supra," was
operating overseas. "They really stumble over our culture. He's probably
not watching any reruns of `The Munsters' on TV Land."
Herman Munster was portrayed by Fred Gwynne, who died in July 1993.
"Phishing" thieves often trick consumers into revealing financial
secrets by sending e-mail requests that appear to originate from banks.
A consumer's financial details can be worth $4 and $40 among online
thieves, who can use the information to open fraudulent credit accounts.
CardCops eavesdrops on conversations among thieves in underground
Internet chat rooms to monitor for stolen credit card numbers being sold
or traded. It offers monitoring services to alert consumers whose
information is compromised by hackers.
--
Atheist n A person to be pitied in that he is
unable to believe things for which there is
no evidence, and who has thus deprived himself of
a convenient means of feeling superior to others.
—Chaz Bufe, The American Heretic’s Dictionary

Yes, I've always thought that rather unjust - getting credit is

Incidentally, is the second series of Rome running over there? I was
laughing my socks off at parts of S2 episode 1 yesterday night... In
the UK version there were plenty of mentions of the "*****," but also
of the "C" word. Quite unusual, even for the BBC.

Yes, I've always thought that rather unjust - getting credit is
trivial, if you don't need it...
Incidentally, is the second series of Rome running over there? I was
laughing my socks off at parts of S2 episode 1 yesterday night... In
the UK version there were plenty of mentions of the "*****," but also

I have no idea - I cancelled HBO last year.
Sheeeeit. That's why I can't watch it, now.

You can find most of the episodes of Rome periodically in alt.binaries
multimedia and/or alt.binaries.tvseries, if you have a good usenet
server with good completion and retention, and broadband. Be sure to
download at least 2 or 3 million headers, as those groups have high
turnover. Or go here and do a search for "Rome" if you have an NZB
compatible newsreader, create an NZB file for the episode you're
interested in, download, decode and have fun:
http://www.binsearch.info/
Not suggesting you do anything illegal, just telling you where to find
it ;)

They've already aired the whole series, without any censorship, showing
all the naughty bits, decapitations, etc.
