CALGARY - Investigators spent nine months using technology and old-fashioned sleuthing to find four suspects who allegedly stole $1.8 million from a Calgary company.
The operation involved the U.S. Secret Service and municipal police in Calgary and Vancouver - as well as in Montreal, where investigators arrested four Quebec-based suspects.
Among those charged with theft of credit-card data and fraud is Ehud Tenenbaum, a 29-Israeli national living in Montreal. In 1998, a 19-year-old Israeli named Ehud Tenenbaum - known online as "the Analyzer" - accessed computers belonging to the Pentagon. After his conviction, Tenenbaum used his expertise to help Israeli organizations protect their computer networks against cyber attacks.
Investigators are now working to verify the one-time hacker known as "the Analyzer" is one of the four Montrealers accused of stealing close to $2 million by using computers to falsely inflate the value of prepaid debit cards.
"It is a significant dollar amount," Staff Sgt. Gordon Bull of the Calgary police commercial crime section said Thursday.

He was charged today:
Ehud TENENBAUM, 29, of Israel, has been charged with six
counts of fraudulent use of credit card data (section 342(3)
of the Criminal Code of Canada) and one count of fraud over
$5,000 (section 380(1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada).

I would think his past behavior will factor into this case.

Kailua, HI | Not that I'd consider it a defense of any sort but Ehud has got some serious thrill seeking genes that he needs to come to terms with. |

And now how many people are sweating that there are back doors into those networks he helped "protect". There should be a lesson here about hiring cybercriminals as network security experts. Nobody hires convicted armed robbers to work in their bank. |
