Cyber criminals are using stolen credit cards to donate to charity, according to research by an anti-virus company. Yazan Gable, a researcher with Symantec's Security Response Team said that far from hackers suddenly becoming modern-day Robin Hoods, the scammers are sending their victim's money to charities in order to verify the card numbers are valid. Gable came across this activity when monitoring IRC channels set up on the internet by scammers to discuss stolen credit cards.
