Money mule cops plea in online brokerage hacking scam
,----[ Quote ]
| In November, Mineev and two other men were accused of carrying out a scam
| that secretly installed keylogging software on the PCs of bank and brokerage
| customers. Russian defendant Alexander Bobnev used the malware to hack into
| the customer accounts. He would then send emails instructing Mineev to
| transfer money out of the accounts and into a specially designated bank
| account.
