SEPANG: Real tickets bought using stolen credit card data for a much cheaper price - that was the modus operandi of a crime syndicate which was recently busted by the police.

According to Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Aziz Ali, on Jan 19, a Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) safety officer received word that a passenger flying to Dubai from KLIA had bought a ticket using a credit card that did not belong to him.
