OCTOBER 28, 2004
In what it called an Information Age undercover investigation, the U.S. Secret Service today announced that it has arrested 28 people from eight U.S. states and six countries allegedly involved in a global organized cybercrime ring. Charges filed against the suspects include identity theft, computer fraud, credit card fraud and conspiracy.
The investigation, code-named Operation Firewall, resulted in what the Secret Service described as a significant disruption of organized criminal activity online that was targeting the financial infrastructure of the U.S. The suspects are alleged to have collectively trafficked in at least 1.7 million stolen credit card numbers. Financial institutions have estimated their losses associated with the suspects targeted by the investigation to be more than $4.3 million...
The underground criminal groups have been identified as Shadowcrew, Carderplanet and Darkprofits.
