Federal investigators say they have uncovered the largest cyber crime case in U.S. history.
Agents have arrested dozens of suspects in three states who were allegedly working with people in Egypt to steal personal information over the internet then clean out bank accounts.
The investigation , called “Operation Phish Phry,” netted 53 suspects in California, Nevada, and North Carolina.
Officials say the Suspects used phony emails which look like they came from real banks to get passwords and other personal information from unsuspecting victims.





THANK YOU!!!!!!
I have received more than a few of these spams. Their website looks 100% like my bank. I immediately forwarded them to my bank's abuse hotline. Maybe these people are the ones I received emails from.
