"There is a bustling trade in credit card information and personal details among hackers, phishers and other online criminals. This is called "carding", and is generally how individual technical hackers get paid by organized crime for stealing information. Occasionally spreadsheets, databases, and other lists of personal information end up in public places on the web and get spidered by Google." –Alex Stamos, ISEC Partners.
