The American authorities announced the completion of a large -scale operation, as a result of which 13 people accused of abduction of at least 200 million dollars with the help of fake credit cards were arrested.

The arrests were made in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, the US Federal Bureau and the US Department of Justice said a joint statement of the US Department of Justice.

At the same time, the American cyber-abrasions had accomplices in other countries, including in India, Canada, China, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Romania and Japan, and residents of at least eight countries suffered from their actions for 10 years, ITAR-TASS reports.

According to the American authorities, the attackers created thousands of fake identities in US citizens, which registered 25 thousand bank credit cards. Large loans were taken for these credit cards, which were never paid, as well as various goods and services.
