Twenty-four suspects from eight countries were arrested in Card Shop, an operation that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is describing as "the largest coordinated international law enforcement action in history directed at 'carding' crimes."
"From New York to Norway and Japan to Australia, Operation Card Shop targeted sophisticated, highly organized cyber criminals involved in buying and selling stolen identities, exploited credit cards, counterfeit documents, and sophisticated hacking tools," FBI Assistant Director in Charge Janice Fedarcyk said Wednesday.
Of the 24 suspects, 11 were arrested in the US, six in the UK, two in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one each in Bulgaria, Italy, Norway, Germany and Japan.
Four more defendants are still at large.
