Bank account details belonging to thousands of Britons are being sold in West Africa for less than £20 each, the BBC's Real Story programme has found.
It discovered that fraudsters in Nigeria were able to find internet banking data stored on recycled PCs sent from the UK to Africa.

The information can be found on a PC's hard disk, which is easy to access if the drive is not wiped before sending.

So it seems we're not safe even when we throw our PCs out?

That's quite worrying.

Wow, they actually have schools in Nigeria that teach them how to do all sorts of fraud.
