Related, and even more off topic, the Dutch police just caught man that was extorting a large food product company by contaminating their products (one person reported ill). He used high tech tricks to prevent being caught. The company had to encode the magnetic strip data of debit card to a new 200k euro account in a picture of a red Volkswagen Beetle on a popular second-hand car website. The guy then viewed the ad with the picture using the Surfola anonymizer service. The Dutch police traced all IP addresses that viewed the ad. One led to the US and with the help of the FBI and Surfola they were able to lead this back to a Dutch ISP account, identifying the guy. (Guess use of the anonymizer service raised big red flags). They arrested him 3 days later when he was about to cash the money with the copied debit card. Anyway, his attorney now tries to find out if the whole investigation isn't illegal because Surfola broke its privacy policy: 1. SURFOLA.com will not give out your name, residence address, or e-mail address to any third parties without your permission, for any reason, at any time, ever. So much for that. Now what would have happened had the guy known Freenet & PGP?
