Court hears Texan hacker stole $274,000 from Digital River
A federal court in Minneapolis has heard accusations that a Texan man hacked his way into the systems of well-known ecommerce company Digital River, and stole more than a quarter of a million dollars.
35-year-old Jeremey Parker of Houston, Texas, has been charged with computer fraud and wire fraud after allegations that between December 23 2008 and October 15 2009, he broke into a computer network belonging to Digital River subsidiary SWReg Inc, and redirected $274,000 of electronic payments to his personal account.
SWReg is well-known amongst independent software developers - for over 20 years it has been providing a convenient infrastructure for smaller software firms and shareware authors to deliver their products and collect payments without going to the effort of creating their own online store.
