Feds: Ring bought stolen credit card numbers, spent thousands in Central Florida

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Dissent

Amy Pavuk reports:

Secret Service agents say seven members of a Central Florida crime ring spent hundreds of thousands of dollars with stolen credit card numbers, which were purchased over the Internet from people who hacked into business computers and obtained the data.

[…]

The local Secret Service investigation began in September, when an agent working in San Diego notified the Orlando office about fraud occurring in Central Florida that was traced to a hacked computer at a California hotel.

According to the criminal complaint, computer servers for the Se San Diego Hotel were hacked. Someone accessed the hotel’s server and uploaded malicious software, which then stored credit card data.
