International Hackers Indicted for Sniffing Credit Cards from Dave & Buster's


Three international hackers have been indicted for allegedly using "college-level knowledge of computer programming skills" to steal and sell credit card numbers from customers of Dave & Buster's restaurant chain, the Justice Department said Monday.

One of the men arrested, Maksym Yastremskiy, of Ukraine, was found in possession of millions of stolen credit card numbers, unrelated to the restaurant, on his laptop when the Turkish National Police arrested him in July. The indictments were unsealed Monday in the Eastern District of New York, and cover a 5-month-long intrusion last year into the Dallas-based eatery.
