\"FBI<\/a>ATLANTA\u2014<\/strong> A 30-year-old Estonia man was sentenced to 11 years in prison for his involvement in an elaborate computer hacking scheme that stole $9.4 million from a credit card processor.<\/p>\n

Sergei Nicolaevich T\u0161urikov<\/strong> and others got unauthorized access to the computer network of RBS WorldPay, what was the U.S. payment processing division of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, located in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cA leader of one of the most sophisticated cybercrime rings in the world has been brought to justice and sentenced,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates.<\/p>\n

Adding, \u201cIn just one day in 2008, an American credit card processor was hacked in perhaps one of the most sophisticated and organized computer fraud attacks ever conducted. Almost exactly one year later, the leaders of this attack were charged. This prosecution was successful because of the efforts of the victim, and unprecedented cooperation from various law enforcement agencies worldwide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

T\u0161urikov plead guilty Sept. 11, 2012, officials said. He was also ordered to pay $8.4 million as restitution.<\/p>\n

This is how this elaborate scheme worked, according to officials.<\/strong><\/p>\n
