Cybercriminals Cache In (Google)

Cybercrime server exposed through Google cache

Channel Register: Some 22,000 card records have been exposed on Google through cached copies of data stored on a defunct cybercrime server.

ITnews in Australia says that 19,000 of the 22,000 exposed details referred to U.S. and U.K. cards and that data came from Google cache records from a disused Internet payment gateway.

The cybercrime site, registered in Vietnam, is no longer operational. The data includes credit card numbers, expiration dates, names and addresses for accounts held with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Solo and Delta.
