Marketplace Tech Report for Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Episode Teaser Image: 
Episode Description: 
The FBI has arrested 24 suspects on four continents in connection with a financial fraud ring. The suspects are accused of trafficking in stolen credit card numbers, procured online. Meanwhile, a new report says $78 million has been siphoned from bank accounts in the last several months. Plus, the travel site Orbitz knows if you're visiting it from a Mac or a PC, and tailors the site depending on that. The practice is making headlines right now, but it'll be common soon enough.
