Russians Arrest 3 in RBS WorldPay Heist
Bank Info Security reports Russian federal authorities this week arrested three suspects already indicted here in the U.S. for the RBS WorldPay heist. This brings hope that there will be justice meted out for the $9 million hack that stunned even the most knowledgeable law enforcement officials when it happened in November 2008. In the indictments handed down in Atlanta, Pleshchuk and Tsurikov were the accused leaders of the group of eight hackers. The group allegedly infiltrated RBS WorldPay’s network and broke the encryption around the company’s payroll debit cards.
