965 India's National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has ordered UK broadcaster Channel 4 to hand over information from a documentary about alleged finacial data theft at call centres in India.
The link includes:-
"Kiran Karnik, president, Nasscom, says: "These operations sometimes go beyond uncovering wrongdoing and actually induce criminal activity that is then recorded and aired. In this particular case, one of the alleged criminals has stated that the data he offered for sale was fake.""
Can't trust them to hold your data safe, can't trust them to (illegally) sell you genuine data. Has the same type of sting been attempted in the UK? - bet we have the same problems - just the price is higher.
