Using a credit card is a leap of faith for many consumers. We swipe, we trust and we hope our financial info is safe. But don't tell this same tale of naivety to Sony PlayStation 3 users, who had their credit card details compromised in the worst way last month. According to the New York Times (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/hackers-claim-to-have-playstation-users-card-data/), hackers swiped millions of credit card numbers from the PS3's servers, aiming to sell the list to fellow crooks for upwards of $100,000.
Unconventional crime? Surely. The high-tech PS3 ambush isn't your average purse snatch, but even the wildest, most inventive cons can be prevented. With help from Michael D'Sa, a security expert with Visa Canada, MSN counts down some of today's craziest credit card scams and how you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim.
