Hotel computer and Internet lounge hacker gets 9 years!
So, this guy steals $1.4 Million dollars from unsuspecting people who use the hotel lobby computer and other "guest" computers, he gets to jet all over the world on vacation, then when he is caught, he has to pay back $347,000 in restitution and gets 9 years (probably will only do 2 to 3) in the pokey and 3 years with of probation/parole. hmmm, after restitution, seems to me like he should have a million bucks waiting for him somewhere…. unless he is such an idiot that he never thought about the future and hid some of it somewhere.
HEY! BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE THOSE PUBLIC COMPUTERS!
"Bonilla installed keylogging software on hotel business-center computers and Internet lounges in order to steal passwords and other personal data"
A Colombian man who used keylogging software in a lucrative identity theft scheme has been sentenced to nine years in prison and ordered to pay restitution of US$347,000.
Mario Simbaqueba Bonilla, 40, pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court in January to conspiracy, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. His scheme, which he carried out alone and with a co-conspirator between 2004 and 2007, had more than 600 victims worldwide, including employees of the U.S. Department of Defense, according to the Department of Justice.
Bonilla installed keylogging software on hotel business-center computers and Internet lounges in order to steal passwords and other personal data. Then he and his partner used complex computer intrusion methods to steal money from accounts. After transferring the money to credit and debit cards or cash, Bonilla used it to buy electronics and pay for luxury travel to Hong Kong, France, Jamaica, the U.S. and other places, according to the
Justice Department. The court pegged the actual and attempted losses from the scheme at $1.4 million.
Bonilla was arrested by federal agents last August when he flew into the U.S. with a laptop, purchased with stolen funds, that contained personal and financial information on more than 600 people.
In addition to the prison term and restitution, Bonilla was sentenced to three years of supervised release after his release.
