Dept. of Justice Charge Three Men in Largest Identity Theft Case in History

The Justice Department announced Monday that they have charged three people in the largest identity theft case in the history.

Alberto Gonzalez, 28, acted with two unnamed conspirators to target large corporations in a crime that the Department of Justice calls "the single largest hacking and identity theft case ever prosecuted."

More than 130 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen in a corporate data breach involving three different corporations and two individuals, according to authorities. The card numbers, along with account information, were stolen from Heartland Payment Systems, 7-Eleven Inc. and Hannaford Brod Company.

The indictment also mentions two other unidentified corporate victims as being hacked by the co-conspirators.

According to the indictment, Gonzalez and the others stole information from Fortune 500 companies’ servers and attempted to sell the information.
