fraud.
21-year-old computer hacker has
been jailed for three years for masterminding a scam which enabled
£27million of fraud to be committed.
Jay
Moore set up fake shopping website Freshshop to ‘farm’ credit card data
from unsuspecting users, which he then sold to international criminal
gangs.
He also hacked into payment systems to obtain databases of card information which he sold in bulk through his website.
Detectives
later found the card details of more than 340,000 individuals on his
home computer and £81,000 of cash in a safe in his bedroom.
Moore
spent his money on a top-of-the-range BMW with a personalised number
plate valued at over £10,000, and gave £40,000 to his father to help buy
a large farmhouse.
Banks reported fraudulent losses linked to cards in excess of £26.9million.
