Computer Fraud

Daniel talks to Timothy O'Brien, staff writer at the Wall Street Journal about a recent article covering a computer break-in at Citicorp, one of the largest banks in the country. A 28 year old computer hacker in St. Petersburg, Russia, allegedly broke into Citicorps and transfered over 12 million dollars from corporate accounts all over the world to his own account, $400,000 of which he was able to withdraw in cash before getting caught by Citicorps and the FBI.
