The confirmed financial loss is estimated at $14.6 million, while the FBI estimates attempted losses at about $28 million.
“To date, the FBI has identified at least 19 victims throughout the United States, including two companies in the Northern District of Georgia, whose bank accounts have been compromised through this account takeover scheme, resulting in attempted losses of approximately $28 million dollars and actual losses of approximately $14.6 million dollars,” the Department of Justice says.
“The seized domain hosted a server that contained the stolen login credentials of thousands of victims, including the credentials of the victims mentioned above.”
The FBI found that the seized domain hosted a backend server that was used as recently as November. The seizure involved Estonian law enforcement and international partners. The domain now displays a banner stating it is under authority control.
Since January, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center has logged over 5,100 bank account takeover complaints, totaling over $262 million in losses.
