Trio Made $400K Lifting PINs from ATMs
The Houston Press reports three men have been indicted for going to local ATMs and putting in overlay pads to intercept and store customers’ financial info, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Jason Michael Lall, 38, John Pierre Griffin, 32, and John DaSilva Paz, 27, hid themselves from security cameras by blocking them with vehicles or spray-painting them, and then installed the devices in otherwise normal-looking official bank ATMs. The information captured from the various ATM machines was then re-encoded onto fraudulent cards that were used to withdraw money in excess of $400,000 from various area bank locations.
