Presidential Limousine - Click above for a high-res image gallery

Tragedy struck the streets of Maryland Wednesday when a pair of heavily armored Secret Service vehicles designed to escort the Vice President struck and killed a pedestrian at an intersection. Inside Line reports that the unfortunate accident occurred at 2:27 am Wednesday morning in rainy conditions as the armored Cadillac limo and Chevrolet Suburban were en-route from Andrews Air Force base to a secure storage location. Vice President Joe Biden was not on board when the incident took place.

The armored vehicles, which weigh over 13,000 pounds, are driven by employees who have taken a special protective operator’s driving course. The Washington Post has quoted a Secret Service official as saying the vehicles’ added heft makes the vehicles “trickier to handle than ordinary vehicles.” The incident is currently under investigation by the U.S. Park Police.

Hacker who aided Feds charged in theft of 130 million credit card numbers

Aug 18, 2009 Object

Filed under: Technology, People

Albert Gonzalez, a 28-year-old computer hacker, was indicted yesterday for stealing 130 million credit card numbers, topping his previous record of allegedly stealing 40 million credit card numbers in a series of Wi-Fi based intrusions of U.S. retailers, including TJ Maxx, Office Max and DSW. Gonzalez, known on the internet as “soupnazi,” worked as an informant for the Secret Service in 2003 to help expose credit identity thieves.

The Justice Department’s latest charges involving 130 million credit card numbers stolen between 2006 and 2008 will have to wait until two other cases against Gonzalez are heard. Gonzalez has been in custody since May 2008, when he was arrested for stealing credit card data at Dave & Buster’s. He was also indicted in another identify theft case, including data breaches at T.J. Maxx. He is awaiting trial in New York on the Dave & Buster’s case, then will face trial in Massachusetts on the T.J. Maxx breach, before he will face trial in New Jersey on the latest breach.
