Thousands of British bank customers are at risk of fraud due to a website which offers anyone the opportunity to buy stolen credit card details.
Rescator.cc offers an eBay-style service for hacked financial data, allowing anyone to purchase a stolen card for as little as £8 in just half a dozen clicks.
