Abstract

The mastermind who designed and distributed the Gozi malware — infecting more than a million computers worldwide in order to steal banking and other credentials from tens of thousands of victims — has been charged in New York along with two co-conspirators, according to documents unsealed Wednesday.

Nikita Vladimirovich Kuzmin, 25, was charged along with Deniss Calovskis, 27, and Mihai Ionut Paunescu, 28. The three defendants from Eastern Europe have been charged on various counts involving bank and wire fraud, access device fraud and computer intrusion, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York.
