WASHINGTON – Federal prosecutors on Monday charged a Miami man with the
largest case of credit and debit card data theft ever in the United States.
Authorities said Albert Gonzales, 28, has broken his own record for
identity theft by hacking into more retail networks to steal data from
130 million accounts.
Gonzales, who is already in jail awaiting trial in a hacking case, was
indicted Monday in New Jersey, charged with conspiring with two other
unnamed suspects to steal the private information.
