Alleged Carder .BadB. Charged in $9 Million ATM Heist
By Kim Zetter
August 30, 2010

An alleged carder arrested earlier this month in France has been added to 
a long list of defendants charged with participating in the coordinated 
$9.5 million global heist against Atlanta-based card processing company 
RBS WorldPay, in a revised federal indictment issued in Georgia last week.

Vladislav Anatolievich Horohorin, 27, aka BadB, was charged with one count 
each of wire fraud and access device fraud for his alleged role in the 
caper authorities have called .perhaps the most sophisticated and 
organized computer fraud attack ever conducted.. On November 8, 2008, an 
army of cashers armed with cloned payroll cards simultaneously hit more 
than 2,000 ATMs around the world, looting them of $9.5 million in less 
than a day.

According to the superseding indictment (.pdf) filed August 24, Horohorin 
used a prepaid payroll card with an RBS account number and associated PIN 
to hit ATMs around Moscow, where $125,000 of the fraud occurred.

Horohorin, who holds dual-citizenship in Ukraine and Israel, was already 
facing extradition to the United States on charges of access device fraud 
and identity theft from a separate indictment (.pdf) filed in Washington, 
D.C. last November. He was arrested in Nice, France, while boarding a 
flight to Russia, where he had been living.
