Can you elaborate a bit on that idea of using stolen credit cards to register a bunch of accounts to shut down their processor, and what protections they may have against it?

There's nothing to elaborate outside of it being a particularly asinine thing to do.

Really? I think that would be a fabulously fun thing to do Wink

Just think of the resulting chaos and irony!

Listen, just because a bunch of Internet dweebs are all circlejerking somewhere under the pretense that they're special is neither cause nor justification to blow them off the Interwebs. Pretty much everyone online is doing the same thing; if that principle were uniformly applied the Internet'd grow dark.

Let the kids have their fun, pretend like whatever. Show some mercy. Bringing the cold reality of the matter to their doorstep is particularly cruel: that's why they're there, to escape it. Why shouldn't they be allowed to?

And Interpol kicking in your door. Wink

Right, because that's why about half the world's credit cards are currently available for criminal use: because Interpol is kicking in doors. Stop being silly.
