"The banking details of thousands of Australians have been revealed and an international police investigation jeopardised in a bungle by Australia's peak internet crime-fighting agency.The details of 3500 customers from 18 banks, including names and account numbers, were lost when a classified computer dossier on Russian mafia "phishing" scams was misplaced by the Australian High Tech Crime Centre in April last year. Inquiries by The Australian have revealed a police officer with the AHTCC lost a memory stick - containing the dossier, between Sydney and London."
