Title: Custom sniffer for PCI info Post by: jason on November 02, 2008, 08:36:07 PM Looks like another person just got taken down in the identity theft ring that included TJX and several other retailers. Apparent he wrote a custom sniffer to grab payment card info off the wire as it went between cash registers and the processing servers.
