   "A major identity theft ring has been discovered that affects up to 50
    banks, according to Sunbelt Software, the security company that says
    it uncovered the operation. The operation, which is being
    investigated by the FBI, is gathering personal data from
    "thousands of machines" using keystroke-logging software, Sunbelt
    said Monday."
