DA Vance: “Cybercriminals know no boundaries – they do not respect international borders or laws. Today’s arrests and indictment connect a global network of hackers, identity thieves, and money-launderers who victimized countless individuals in New York and elsewhere. The coordinated actions of law enforcement officials in New York, New Jersey, the United Kingdom, and Canada demonstrate what can be achieved through international cooperation. I thank all of our partners, including the City of London Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the United States Secret Service, and the NYPD for their integral assistance with this investigation. Regardless of where the case originates, nearly every cybercrime case begins with similar breaches: a stolen password, unauthorized use of a credit card, or unaccountable charges on a personal statement, for example. In this case, StubHub discovered evidence of fraud and immediately reported it to law enforcement. I encourage anyone who believes that he or she may have been the victim of identity theft to call my Office’s Cybercrime and Identity Theft hotline at 212-335-9600.”
