Four Romanian Hackers were charged with Stealing millions of
dollars by hacking into the credit card processing systems of more than
200 businesses.
The men remotely accessed point-of-sale systems of 150 Subway sandwich shops and 50 unnamed retailers and stealing credit card data for more than 80,000 customers, according to a federal indictment unsealed earlier this week. They used the stolen account information to make unauthorized purchases worth millions of dollars, prosecutors said.
The men allegedly scanned the internet to identify POS terminals that
used certain remote desktop software applications and then gained
unauthorized access to them by guessing or brute forcing passwords.
The indictment, filed in US District Court in New Hampshire, named
Adrian-Tiberiu Oprea, 27, Iulian Dolan, 27, Cezar Iulian Butu, 26, and
Florin Radu, 23. They were each charged with four counts, including
conspiracy to commit computer fraud, wire fraud, and two counts of
conspiracy to commit fraud in connection with access device.
