CarderPlanet Founder Charged in $9.4m RBS WorldPay Hack
The Register reports a man accused of being one of the most prolific sellers of credit-card data has been charged with participating in the brazen hack of RBS WorldPay in 2008, funneling about $9.4m out of the payment processor in just 12 hours. Vladislav Anatolievich Horohorin, 27, was already in the custody of French police following his arrest three weeks ago on charges he sold huge “dumps” of stolen credit-card data. An alleged founder of CarderPlanet — a notorious clearinghouse for payment-card fraudsters — Horohorin has been awaiting extradition to the US.
