JuJu, Kinko's, and the "Keystroke Caper"!
I always love reading about computer crimes. Its so amazing how even the most brilliant schemes get foiled. But people keep on trying. And trying. And trying....
If you used a computer at a Kinko's in New York City last year, or the year before, there's a good chance that JuJu Jiang was watching.
The 25-year-old Queens resident pleaded guilty in federal court in New York last week to two counts of computer fraud and one charge of unauthorized possession of access codes for a scheme in which he planted a copy of the commercial keyboard sniffing program Invisible KeyLogger Stealth on computers at thirteen Kinko's stores sprinkled around Manhattan.
For nearly two years ending last December, Jiang's makeshift surveillance net raked in over 450 online banking passwords and user names from hapless Kinko's customers, according to the plea. He would use victims' financial information to open new accounts under their names, and then siphon money from their legitimate accounts into the new, fraudulent ones.
