Cyber Theft and Your Identity . . .

Based in a condominium on the 3800 block of Miami's Southwest 79th Avenue, a ring of cyber thieves has just been indicted for their activities over a four-year period.

''So far as we know, this is the single largest and most complex identity theft case ever charged in this country,'' Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey said in a statement.

They stole millions of debit and credit card numbers from retailers that included: Boston Market, Sports Authority, Barnes and Noble, and Office Max.

Eleven men have been charged; three of them are from Miami.
