Hacker Pleads Guilty In Major Identify Theft

Albert Gonzalez, 28, of Miami, is accused of stealing tens of millions of credit and debit card numbers. He faces up to 20 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 8. Gonzalez and two unidentified co-conspirators located in or near Russia broke into credit-card payment systems. He and others concealed and laundered the money they received through the Web and by channeling funds through bank accounts in Eastern Europe, prosecutors say. He also agreed to forfeit more than $2.7 million, a Miami condo, a Tiffany diamond ring and Rolex watches.”]
