You gotta be kidding me.....

Now the news comes that hackers have stolen fake money.

Fake money....

This is a service where people purchase 'coins' that are used to trade for other goods and services. A fake economy.

According to the WhoIs search from Network Solutions this attempt to corner the internet economy is one K.K. Tibanne of Shibuya (Toyko) Japan.

Along with the fake coinage user's names, emails and trade history were taken. According to Computer World the passwords were all encrypted, but it said nothing about the credit card accounts of those who had purchased the online trading money.

Not-for-Nutt'n; sorry the user's information was taken, but I'm not getting too excited over this. If their application security was this bad it is a good thing they were taken down.
