Credit Card Information Theft

As many as six persons were arrested in Maharashtra's Thane district for allegedly stealing credit and debit card data of people and using the information to book flight tickets and rooms in five-star hotels and selling them at cheaper rates.

As per Zomato, which has nearly 120 million users, the payment data was stored separately from the stolen data, and that no payment information or credit card data has been stolen.

The stolen information contains user email addresses and 'hashed' passwords but no payment information or credit card data has been stolen/leaked, Zomato said in a blogpost on its website.

The U.S. is the juiciest target for hackers hunting credit card information and experts say incidents like the recent data theft at Target's stores will get worse before they get better.

E-mails are hacked to access banking transactions, credit card offers or pre-approved loan offers. They even divert this information to separate email addresses through change of address forms.

Sony Corp. is is hoping to ease concerns by offering free identity theft protection to affected customers after the PlayStation Network breach
