Romanian Citizen Faces Computer Hacking Charges in NJ; Montclair Restaurant Among Targets

A Romanian citizen - arrested and extradited to New Jersey to face federal computer hacking charges last year - made his first appearance in Newark federal court on Monday, March 23. Mircea-Ilie Ispasoiu, 29, of Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania, was indicted for allegedly orchestrating an international hacking scheme that targeted retailers, security companies, medical offices and individuals throughout the United States. Victimized companies in the indictment include a Montclair restaurant and a North Brunswick car dealership, in addition to an unnamed "large security firm" that handles background checks and fingerprinting for thousands of job applicants throughout the nation.
