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. It involved the theft of personal information for use in unauthorized wire transfers and to obtain credit and debit cards. Other defendants allegedly allowed their names to be added as “authorized users” on the credit or debit card accounts of the victims who had their personal information stolen, authorities say. If convicted, the defendants face a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.”]
