What does the name ‘BadB’ mean in US documents?
Following Khorokhorin’s arrest, a spokesperson for the US Secret Service identified him as one of the founders of CarderPlanet. In the same statement, the prosecution identified two platforms, CarderPlanet and Carder.su, which, according to the charges, he used to sell stolen payment details. Later, when determining the sentence, the US Department of Justice relied on his guilty plea and described the trade in data via several forums. [1] [2]
Two US court cases
In November 2009, a grand jury in the District of Columbia brought charges of fraud involving account access credentials and identity theft. A separate case in the Northern District of Georgia concerned an incident involving the payment processor RBS WorldPay. In its statement on the verdict, the Department of Justice estimated the total loss from the incident at more than nine million dollars. This figure relates to the case as a whole, whilst the court determined the amount of restitution to be paid by Khorokhorin separately. [1] [2]
Nice, extradition and sentencing
In August 2010, the French authorities arrested Khorokhorin in Nice. He was extradited to the US in June 2012. The two cases were consolidated in Washington, where, in October of that year, he pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud involving access credentials and to a charge of conspiracy to commit computer fraud. On 5 April 2013, the court sentenced him to 88 months’ imprisonment, two years’ post-release supervision and $125,739 in restitution. [2]
Why are there two names in the file?
The individual may have used the same username on several websites, whilst US cases may have grouped related operations together. Therefore, CarderPlanet and Carder.su are listed separately in Khorokhorin’s profile. The role described by the Secret Service in relation to the first forum, and the offences to which Khorokhorin pleaded guilty, are set out in separate documents. [1] [2]
Sale of data and cashing out
The Ministry of Justice’s final report details various types of activity. Khorokhorin sold stolen data via forums and used an automated platform for buyers. At the time of his arrest, according to the Ministry of Justice, he was in possession of over 2.5 million card numbers. Regarding the RBS WorldPay case, he admitted to being involved in organising cash withdrawals. Khorokhorin and the individuals he recruited, as described by the prosecution, received over 125,000 dollars via cash machines in Moscow and the surrounding area. [2]
