Now the young man faces a huge time for his crimes.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of a suspect when US Attorney Damian Williams charged 23-year-old Foster Cooley from Arizona with a New York federal court. According to Williams, Cooley participated in a scheme to crack points on the network of hairdressers and theft of more than $ 400,000, which were supposed to come to the account of the victim company, but went to intruders. The crimes of the young man for some time remained unsolved, since he and his accomplices stole money without going into any of the salons.
Cooley is accused of using malware to steal logins and passwords owned by employees of a hairdressing company that has salons in New York, New Jersey and Colorado. Having received the necessary information, the offender used it to gain access to credit cards of branches that were stored in the victims' Internet browsers.
With access to credit cards of branches, Cooley changed bank accounts, redirecting all payments from clients of a hairdressing company to accounts controlled by himself and his accomplices.
Cooley was arrested during an FBI operation and is now charged with serious criminal charges for his cybercrime: on the sole point of the charge against him of fraud using electronic means of communication, the maximum term is 20 years, and for causing damage to a secure computer by fraud, the maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years.
