Twenty-eight-year-old Miamian Albert Gonzalez, who is being held in a Brooklyn jail cell after hacking into computer networks of five major companies and stealing credit-card data from a staggering 130 million accounts, went by the screen name "Soupnazi" on the Internet. His previous operation, in which he siphoned off more than 40 million credit-card numbers from T.J. Maxx and others, was called "operation get rich or die tryin." We would have gone with Get the Maxx for the Minimum, personally. [WSJ]
