Georgia man sentenced to nine years for stolen credit card data

A 28-year-old man was sentenced to more than nine years in prison Wednesday for buying stolen credit and debit card numbers from an underground online marketplace.

Cameron Harrison of Augusta, Georgia, pleaded guilty in April to participating in a racketeer-influenced corrupt organization and trafficking in false identification documents. He was also ordered to pay $50.8 million in restitution.

Harrison was one of 55 people charged in four indictments related to Carder.su, a marketplace for stolen identity documents, equipment to make documents, stolen bank account information and payment card data.

He was caught after he purchased a counterfeit Georgia driver’s license from an undercover agent on Carder.su.
