Two plead not guilty in Ingram hacking case
Two men accused of aiding a Romanian man charged with hacking into the online ordering system of the world's largest computer equipment distributor pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
Olufemi Tinubu of Atlanta and Jeremy Long of Richmond, Va., are among five men accused of helping Calin Mateias, a 24-year-old from Bucharest, with hacking into the online ordering system of Ingram Micro.
Investigators say Mateias posed as a legitimate customer to place more than 2,000 orders totaling $10 million over four years.
He then allegedly had people in the United States who had been recruited in Internet chat rooms to ship the computers and equipment or the proceeds from their sale to Mateias in Romania.
