Romania: Police Bust Cyber-Crime Ring That Hit 24 Countries

20:35, April 27, 2015

Romanian authorities raided more than 40 homes across the country Sunday to take down a transnational cyber-criminal group accused of coordinated thefts that netted more than US$ 15 million from bank accounts in 24 countries.

The accused cyber-criminals are suspected of stealing bank account information from American and Omani bank computer systems, then printing and distributing clone cards for members to make ATM withdrawals on days the banks were closed. The Romanian anti-organized crime directorate, DIICOT, reports the group consists of 52 members, Romanian and foreign, who coordinated their theft through simultaneous bank withdrawals around the world.
