Interpol chief admits theft of identity on Facebook

The head of Interpol, Ronald Noble, has acknowledged that criminals have stolen their identity by creating two accounts in his name up.

Noble made the disclosure in the inaugural Interpol Information Security Conference in Hong Kong.
Given the anonymity of cyberspace, it might actually be one of the most dangerous threats we face, "said Noble.

Interpol Incident Response Team discovered that one of the criminals use fake account to obtain information on a recent global operation led by Interpol. Operation Infra Red, which led to 130 arrests, was aimed at discovering criminals who fled from national jurisdictions.

Analysts said the case shows the ease with which criminals can forge the identities of others in all forms of social media sites to steal information.
