FBI Bust Another Zeus Ring, Responsible For $70 Million In Victim Losses

The FBI and international law enforcement, working in an unprecedented partnership, have disrupted a large-scale, international organized cybercrime operation. Operation Trident Breach began in May 2009, when FBI agents in Omaha, Nebraska, were alerted to automated clearing house (ACH) batch payments to 46 separate bank accounts throughout the United States. This scheme resulted in the attempted theft of $220 million, with actual losses of $70 million from victims bank accounts. The multi-agency partnership, including support from Internet security researchers, gave law enforcement the opportunity to gather intelligence about this scheme.”]
