Summary

Hide ▲

A federal grand jury in the District of Nebraska indicted 54 individuals in an ATM jackpotting and malware conspiracy, escalating a major cybercrime prosecution tied to alleged cash-dispensing fraud. The case matters because prosecutors say the group used Ploutus malware to force ATMs to dispense cash and conceal the proceeds. The charging action spans two indictments dated October 21 and December 9 and exposes defendants to long prison terms if convicted.
