Arab News: Three Ukrainian members of a sophisticated international hacking group that targeted restaurants, casinos and other businesses in 47 US states to steal credit and debit card records have been arrested and face charges in federal court in Seattle, officials said Wednesday.The hacking group, known as FIN7 or Carbanak, stole about 15 million credit and debit cards records and also targeted establishments in the District of Columbia and around the world, US Attorney Annette Hayes told reporters. Companies that had information stolen included Chipotle, Arby’s, Red Robin and Jason’s Deli.Losses totaled in the tens of millions of dollars, Hayes said.“We are under no illusions that we have taken this group down altogether, but we have made a significant impact,” Hayes said.The operation is one of the largest cybercrime cases the FBI has handled, in terms of losses, number of victims and the size of the criminal organization, said FBI Special Agent Jay Tabb.
