Five out of eight defendants have pleaded guilty for their role in an identity theft scheme. The fraud scheme involved exfiltrating data from a call center that handles direct sales and customer inquiries for AT&T, prosecutors say. Other defendants allegedly allowed their names to be added as “authorized users” on the credit or debit card accounts or bank accounts of victims who had their personal information stolen, authorities say. The defendants face a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison for the conspiracy charge; a mandatory term of two years for each aggravated identity theft charge.”]
