Three people have been arrested in South Florida and accused of identity theft of victims of the Surfside condo collapse, a top prosecutor said Wednesday.

There were seven victims in this case, five of whom are deceased, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said at a news conference.

All seven had their identities stolen and purchases made after the collapse of the condo tower on June 24.

"Cyber grave robbers did move very quickly after the collapse to grab what they could from deceased victims while families and friends were in absolute emotional turmoil," Fernandez Rundle said.

2. Pretty slimy to steal the identity of Surfside victims ...

I hope the sentence is long ... real long

3. Just disgusting!

I can understand being able to get the person's name and address and a few other things from their obituary, but how in the world do they get their social security numbers or PIN numbers or passwords?
