Cyber
the next frontier

A Moldovan man on Friday became the second person in as many months to plead guilty to being part of Infraud, a $568 million cybercriminal enterprise that stole payment cards and personal data from around the world, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

30-year-old Valerian Chiochiu, who allegedly trained Infraud members on writing and deploying malware, appeared before a judge in federal court in Nevada, U.S. officials said. Chiochiu’s guilty plea follows that of Sergey Medvedev, a 33-year-old Russian, who is accused of being the group’s co-founder.

The pleas are part of the ongoing U.S. effort to prosecute Infraud, which Department of Justice officials say victimized people in all 50 states. At its height, Infraud aspired to be the internet’s top spot for “carding,” or buying things with stolen credit card data. It amassed more than 10,000 members, and claimed to only allow vetted vendors of stolen data to advertise on the forum.

But the crime ring was dismantled in 2018 after the U.S. indictment of 36 of the organization’s affiliates and the arrest of 13 of them. Svyatoslav Bondarenko, a Ukrainian accused of being the other co-founder of Infraud, is still at large, according to Department of Justice officials.
