A key suspect in the 2014 cyberattacks against JPMorgan and nine other financial institutions in the U.S. was arrested at the John F Kennedy Airport in New York on Wednesday, the US Department of Justice announced.
U.S. national Joshua Samuel Aaron, aka Mike Shields, was living in Russia but decided to return to the U.S. to face charges voluntarily, according to the BBC. Aaron is accused of “massive computer hacking crimes against U.S. financial institutions, brokerage firms, and financial news publishers, including the largest theft of customer data from a U.S. financial institution in history,” FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said.
