Russian Man Extradited To US For Heartland, Dow Jones Cyberattacks
itwbennett writes: A Russian man accused of high-profile cyberattacks on Nasdaq, Dow Jones, Heartland Payment Systems and 7-Eleven has been extradited to the U.S. and appeared in court in Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday. Vladimir Drinkman, 34, of Syktyykar and Moscow, Russia was charged for his alleged role in a data theft conspiracy that targeted major corporate networks and stole more than 160 million credit card numbers, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a press release. Drinkman appeared Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and entered a plea of not guilty to the 11 counts he faces. His trial is scheduled to begin in April.
TFA makes clear that he was arrested/detained in The Netherlands, so he was presumably extradited from there.
Corruption is convincing someone that the selfless ideal is the same as their selfish ideal.
I think you owe me an apology.
You must be new here.
