Cheat Fresh: Romanian Pair Cop to Subway Credit Card Hack
Two Romanian men, ages 27 and 28, have pleaded guilty to a multimillion-dollar hacking scheme targeted at Subway restaurants. The two men, arrested last December, were part of what is believed to be a four-person group that stole information from an estimated 146,000 payment cards belonging to Subway customers. The plot, which spanned from 2009-2011, involved remotely hacking into point-of-sale computers at hundreds of Subway restaurants, and then planting spyware onto the POS systems. Payment information in tow, the quartet then funneled money to various "dump sites" located in the U.S. and Europe.
