Men who bought and used stolen card data from Hannaford breach sentenced
September 19, 2010

Joseph Serna reports:

     An Irvine man is scheduled to surrender himself to police Nov. 12 and 
serve a year in jail for his role in a credit card forgery ring, Orange 
County prosecutors said.

     Jerome Abaquin Gonzales, 33, pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior 
Court Sept. 10 to felony counts of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud 
and trafficking and possessing access card materials.

     The credit card information came from a data breach in a Florida 
supermarket chain between December 2007 and March 2008 where 4.2 million 
Discover Card accounts were compromised, the largest such breach in the 
nation.s history.

     In a six-week run between March and April 2008, Gonzales and Thomas 
Michio Taniguchi, 45, formerly of Northridge, used stolen Discover Card 
account information to get cash and merchandise from 33 locations in 
Orange County.
