A great assault on dozens of ATMs in the heart of Manhattan, with cards such as Mastercard weapon. The operation involved, it is known at this time, eight individuals. It is only the members of a cell in the U.S.. Seven of them are under arrest. But researchers warn that it is a much more complex financial crime and global dimension. The riot is valued at a total of $ 45 million.
Prosecutors compared what happened as something like a flashmob planetary mass for the way in which the operation was executed. The New York map showing the authorities was full of dots, indicating where individuals were running one-on-one assault. By keeping it simple, those responsible for the criminal plot systems agreed to entities in the Middle East to gain data debit cards. It is believed that the operational center is outside the U.S..
This information is going after individuals who executed the assault at the foot of cashier, with cards issued by the National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah UAE and the Bank of Muscat in Oman. In total, 40,500 were cash withdrawals in 27 countries. It is the largest cash robbery has been seen, authorities say in the U.S.. "Instead of guns and masks, this organization used computers and malware," the New York Attorney Loretta Lynch.
The target of the attack were prepaid debit cards. The authors were able to manipulate the boundary assault with which you could get money from the ATM, so feared had significant access to systems of banks. So the teams that were on the street could make as much money as possible before the system crash. Mastercard says his network was never in commitment, but is working with research to help dismantle the plot.
The first assault was executed in late December last year, which was stolen about five million. And acted again in February, where losses are estimated at 40 million. Overall it is estimated 36,000 ATMs acted. In New York in particular withdrew almost three million U.S. dollars in two strokes, which according to Lynch makes it the second largest bank robbery in the history of the city.
As noted experts such financial crimes, hackers only need to find a vulnerability in the system to cause damage of millions of dollars in just a couple of days. "New technologies and the rapid growth of the Internet eliminated the traditional boundaries of financial crime," said Steven Hughes meanwhile, one of the officers involved in the operation of demolition of the plot.
The investigation remains open because it is not yet clear if more cells operating in other cities in the U.S.. Of the eight defendants in the U.S., one was killed on April 27 in the Dominican Republic. It is not known if the death is related to this financial crime, said Lynch. The financial cyber research is taking place in fifteen countries, including Spain, Canada and Japan.
