Palm Credit card scam

A cashier in a NY city Bloomingdale's allegedly used a credit card reader attached to her Palm Pilot to steal credit card numbers. The scam was discovered when a tourist noticed his card was swiped twice when he purchased sunglasses, once on in the register and again in her Palm. Read more on the story at CNN. A trial is pending and the defendant could face up to 7 years in jail if convicted. Also, the Palm Pilot was recently the topic of this Dilbert cartoon.
