Indian call centers an Internet fraud risk: Australian report

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Workers at call centres based in India are selling personal information which puts tens of thousands of people at risk of computer fraud, Australia's national broadcaster said.

In an investigation for ABC Television's Four Corners programme, reporters were offered banking pin numbers, passport numbers, credit card details and other personal information on thousands of Australians.

The information would enable fraudsters to assume false identities for online transactions, the ABC said in a preview of the programme to be broadcast Monday night.
