PITTSBURGH -
Max Ray Butler, 35, also known as the Iceman, was charged with running an online marketplace for stolen credit card information at cardersmarket.com that is used by third parties to manufacture phony credit cards, a practice known as "carding." Butler allegedly hacked into the computer systems of Pentagon FCU, Citibank and a government employee.
The number of cards reportedly compromised by Butler and his accomplices is said to be in the thousands. Butler previously served 18 months in prison for hacking into computers at University of California Berkeley, national laboratories, federal agencies, Air Force bases and a NASA flight center.
Some of these crimes took place while he was supposed to be working undercover for the FBI.
