There are no links that we know of to the infamous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua that has taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, CO.With the election drawing close, I must remember to keep an eye on immigration.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of New York, indicted six Venezuelans, all illegal aliens, in connection with an “ATM Jackpotting” scheme and stealing $400,000.
The men are:
• Joelvis Jose Rivas-Solorzano
• Silvio Fabian-Ordonez
• Jose Medina
• Jose Navarro
• Deivy Santiago Pena-Rojas
• Jefferson Jose Marquez-Marquez
“‘ATM jackpotting’ is the exploitation of physical and software vulnerabilities in ATMs that result in the machines dispensing cash to unauthorized fraudsters,” explained the office.
“Typically, during ATM jackpotting events one or two people use a key to access the inside of an ATM to install a foreign device that allows a hacker to assume control of the ATM. After the ATM is compromised, groups of individuals arrive at the ATM to conduct transactions and the ATM dispenses its cash reserves, which are untethered to any bank account.”
More from the U.S. Attorney’s office:
In December 2023, several financial institutions in the Northern District of New York became victims of an ATM Jackpotting scheme. In total, over $400,000.00 was stolen during four separate ATM jackpotting events in Onondaga, Broome, and Chenango counties.
