Pinholes and P.I.N.S.

November 15, 2003

Isn't technology grand! You combine video technology into tiny pinhole cameras, the Internet, and prices that have been driven down by demand and suddenly there are no secrets.

Some of these cameras can easily be concealed in some very standard household and common business items. VCR cassettes, motion detectors, clocks, smoke detectors, books, pictures and cell phones have all been converted into video cameras.

With cameras as small as one inch by one inch easily available and easily affordable this technology is being used in a manner that can compromise your bank and credit cards.

These cameras are being combined with current technology that reads the information stored on the magnetic strip in these cards and the P.I.N.S. are being read by covert video cameras. New cards are being created by the criminal and bank accounts are emptied and credit cards are maxed out.
