Card Fraud Scheme: The Breached Victims

Federal authorities in New Jersey unsealed indictments of five defendants allegedly linked to Heartland hacker Albert Gonzalez. Investigators say the attacks compromised personally identifiable information and credit and debit details linked to hundreds of millions of accounts. The scheme, which is believed to have run from August 2005 through July 2012, cost three of the victim companies alone more than $300 million, according to the indictment released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of New Jersey. The defendants in this case are charged with attacks against 7-Eleven, Carrefour S.A., Commidea Ltd., Diners Club Singapore, Dow Jones Inc., Euronet, Global Payments, Hannaford Bros., Heartland Payment Systems and JetBlue Airways.”]
