How a carding kingpin got caught

The Broadway Grill had no idea they’d been hacked, nor that the hacker had been able to siphon off roughly 33,000 credit card numbers to another computer with an I.P. address in Ukraine during a five-day breach. That the number of stolen credit cards ran into the tens of thousands had to do with the fact that Broadway Grill’s software “was not configured to purge previously-used numbers periodically, so there were many months of numbers saved on the point of sale system,” said U.S. Department of Justice Public Affairs Specialist Emily Langlie over email. A warrant for the email address leads Dunn to a server in Virginia, full of credit card dumps, worth millions of dollars, uploaded by hundreds of computers across the country.
