Posted on April 8, 2011 by Dissent

Darren Pauli reports:

More than 600 corporate credit cards owned by top Federal Government agencies from the Department of Defence to the Australian Federal Police have been exposed in a suspected espionage attack on a Sydney firm.

ZDNet Australia has obtained an document that contains 629 valid credit card numbers along with expiry dates, organisation and staff names, and addresses.

The list was stolen from the servers of Sydney-based telecommunications company Rojone early last month. According to Rojone’s managing director Livia Grabowski, after the theft a person identifying themself as the attacker phoned one of the company’s clients to inform them that their credit card details had been compromised.
