Men Charged With Hijacking DOD Paychecks
A federal grand jury is indicting two Southern California men accused of using peer-to-peer file sharing software to hijack unsuspecting victims’ money, including paychecks from five Department of Defense employees. The defendants, San Diego federal prosecutors say, from 2005 and 2006 accessed the passwords and repeatedly logged into a DOD online payroll system known as “DFAS MyPay” to redirect paychecks to prepaid credit cards – about $20,000 in all. The accused obtained the passwords after the victims erroneously made them available on peer-to-peer networks, including Limewire and Bearshare.
