Fox News: The Department of Justice has indicted 11 people allegedly involved in the hacking of nine major U.S. retailers and the theft and sale of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers. Officials are calling the hack the largest card-compromise scheme ever prosecuted in U.S. history. Those charged include three U.S. citizens, one Estonian, three Ukrainians, two citizens from the Peoples Republic of China, and one from Belarus. One individual is just identified with an online alias. The 11 charged allegedly targeted retailers TJX Companies, BJs Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Boston Market, Barnes & Noble, Sports Authority, Forever 21 and DSW. An informant, who also has been charged in the indictment, was allegedly able to tap into computer networks using a technique called "war driving," where he would drive around looking for open computer networks.
