ALLEGED DAVE & BUSTER'S HACKERS BUSTED
May 17, 2008 - A federal grand jury has indicted the alleged hackers thought to be behind one
of the world's biggest stolen credit card numbers rings, according to court records unsealed
today in New York.
The 27-count indictment, returned by the grand jury in March, charges Maksym Yastremskiy of
Kharkov, Ukraine, and Aleksandr Suvorov from Estonia with conspiracy to commit wire fraud,
wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy to commit computer fraud, for hacking
into the computer systems at Dave & Buster's restaurants in the United States.
Authorities say the alleged hackers obtained more than 5,000 customer credit card numbers,
which they then used to make fraudulent purchases around the world using software called
"packet sniffers," which vacuumed up card data used at the restaurant and arcade chain.
For reasons like this I check my credit card accounts online every night to make sure there are
no surprises. It's getting pretty bad out there. You can't trust any restaurant with your credit
cards anymore.
