Credit/Debit Card Hacketeer Arrested at Delhi Airport



According to India Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its Indian counterpart detained a Ukrainian national from the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Monday for his involvement in Net fraud and identity theft.  The man, Sergey V. Storchak, was travelling on a Jetlite flight S2 120 (Goa-Mumbai-Delhi). 


  • He is alleged to have been involved in the theft and sale of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers.

      

  • The US justice department had described it as the largest hacking and identity theft case ever in the country.

India Today goes on to say that a criminal case has been filed against Storchak for conspiracy to traffic in unauthorised access devices and that the FBI, which had issued a look- out circular (LOC) for Storchak, had intimated the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) about his presence in Delhi. The US department of justice had charged them with conspiracy, computer intrusion, internet fraud and identity theft.



The accused obtained the credit and debit card numbers by 'wardriving' and hacking into the wireless networks of major retailers in the US. Once inside the network, they installed 'sniffer' programmes that would capture card numbers, as well as password and account information. After collecting the data, the accused used to conceal it in encrypted servers that they could control from Eastern Europe and the US. The stolen numbers were 'cashed out' by encoding card numbers on the magnetic strips of blank cards. They then used these cards to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars at a time from the ATMs. In one case, Sergey's fellow countryman Maksym Yastremskiy had allegedly received proceeds $11 million.
