DE: Guilty plea entered in debit data theft

Posted on February 5, 2009 by Dissent

Sean O’Sullivan reports:

One of two co-defendants in a complicated debit-card skimming operation that took in more than $500,000 from at least 70 victims pleaded guilty Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Wilmington.

[…]

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Ilana H. Eisenstein, Grigoryan and Harutyunyan placed a skimmer device inside a keypad at Rite Aid drugstores in Wayne, Pa., and on Marsh Road in Brandywine Hundred, at the checkout counter, allowing it to read and store account numbers and security passwords of anyone who used the keypad.

[…]

In the Wayne, Pa., case, Eisenstein said the pair recruited a person, identified only as A.S., to get a job at the Rite Aid and assist in the scheme, which ran from January 2007 to April 2007. There apparently was no inside person at the Delaware location, where information was skimmed in January 2007.
