1,500,000 Facebook users can’t be wrong, can they?

The New Zealand Herald reports that the clown claiming to have 1,500,000 hacked Facebook accounts available for sale is working in Kiwiland.

Detectives from the National Cyber Crime Centre are investigating whether the hacker Kirllos is using New Zealand as a base to commit internet fraud.

Kirllos is offering the user names and passwords of 1.5 million Facebook users for between $35 and $62.70 per 1000 accounts sold on an underground hacker forum.

There are plenty of good reasons to be skeptical about Kirllos’s claims: Dancho Danchev has a good overview on the ZDNet blog. Still, it gives one pause.
