Perhaps a better start on impacting this would be for the credit card companies to pursue the people that abuse their cards/systems instead of just writing fraudulent purchases off as a loss and not pursuing them any further. I been through it myself and I know for a fact that at least one major cc company operates in this way. In this model there's nothing to discourage someone from using stolen numbers. Just my $.02

I beg to differ, wither I aggregate my announcements does not impact the
$50B charge identity theft puts on the US economy.
would it assist if I associated a dollar value for each bot hosted, we
can estimate the number of credit cards stolen per bot and extrapolate
in to something with some zeros on it.

nsp-sec players still won't let us in their sand-box... but we will
share to the communities you have enumerated.
