Dumped Computers Exploited in Overseas Fraud

CRIMINAL networks are feeding off Australians' lust for new technology by skimming data from computers dumped in Africa and Asia - and using it for blackmail, fraud and identity theft.

They will pay as much as $200 on the black market for discarded computer hard drives, which they mine for bank details, credit card numbers and account passwords.

These hard drives are among the mountains of electronic waste earmarked for recycling here. Instead, they are illegally shipped to developing countries by operators seeking bigger profits.

At the same time, more than 230 million items of e-waste - from televisions to computers - are buried in local landfill each year, creating a toxic pollution problem. Others are being resold with confidential data intact, creating opportunities for fraud in Australia.
