ARAB-AMERICANS VICTIMS OF COMPUTER TERRORISTS



BOTHELL, Wa. (Wireless Flash) – The biggest victims of terrorism may be Americans of Middle-Eastern descent. According to Larry Sontag, a computer security entrepreneur in Bothell, Washington, many law-abiding Arab-Americans are having their identities stolen by terrorists trying to get into the U.S. Although identity theft can happen to anyone, Arab-Americans are currently the most at risk – especially law-abiding citizens who aren’t on any FBI list. Right now, he says terrorists are stealing credit card numbers from Arab- Americans and charging long-distance calls or plane tickets. Unfortunately, the victims won’t know what’s up until phone calls to Pakistan show up on the phone bill.
