OK, I know I am now reaching the point of being truly annoying, but I have a specific question that you may be able to answer.
If someone comes by information about credit card numbers legally, let’s say through an anonymous email, or a visit to an unprotected web site, etc., is it then legal to retransmit those data to others?
I ask, because if it’s legal, it shouldn’t be. Right?
No, I don't think so. Wikileaks didn't retransmit the full credit card #’s however. They did receive them from who ever passed on the info to them so that person could probably be prosecuted. If you receive credit card info as an email from someone, you haven't broken the law though just as long as you don't pass it on to someone else.
