Russian extradited to U.S. to face charges over JPMorgan hack
Summary
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Russian man has been extradited to the United States from Georgia on charges that he took part in a massive computer hack, which targeted JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and other U.S. companies, U.S. prosecutors announced on Friday. Andrei Tyurin, 35, was arrested in Georgia at the request of U.S. authorities, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in Manhattan. Tyurin is the latest person charged in connection with one of the largest data breaches ever. JPMorgan disclosed the breach in 2014 and said it had exposed information associated with about 83 million customer accounts. Prosecutors said Tyurin, Shalon and the other conspirators made hundreds of millions of dollars through criminal schemes.
