CALGARY - Investigators spent nine months using technology and old-fashioned sleuthing to find four suspects who allegedly stole $1.8 million from a Calgary company.
The operation involved the U.S. Secret Service and municipal police in Calgary and Vancouver -- as well as in Montreal, where investigators arrested four Quebec-based suspects.
Among those charged with theft of credit-card data and fraud is Ehud Tenenbaum, an Israeli national living in Montreal. In 1998, a 19-year-old Israeli named Ehud Tenenbaum -- known online as "the Analyzer" -- accessed computers belonging to the Pentagon.
After his conviction, Tenenbaum used his expertise to help Israeli organizations protect their computer networks against cyber attacks.
Investigators are now working to verify the one-time hacker known as "the Analyzer" is one of the four Montrealers accused of stealing close to $2 million by using computers to inflate the value of prepaid debit cards.---------------------
