–Findikoglu Extradited to US, Pleads Not Guilty
(June 24, 25, & 27, 2015)
The US Secret Service has extradited Ercan Findikoglu to face charges
that include conspiracy to commit computer intrusion. Findikoglu
allegedly organized cyber crimes that cost financial institutions around
the world an estimated US $55 million. Findikoglu pleaded not guilty in
a New York court. The scheme involved breaking into systems at three
payment processing companies and raising balances and eliminating
withdrawal limits on prepaid debit card accounts. Findikoglu and his
accomplices then allegedly used the card information to make phony cards
and make withdrawals.
