Two Romanian men have reportedly pleaded guilty to working with others to hack into point-of-sale terminals at more than 150 Subway stores in the U.S. to steal credit card data from more than 146,000 accounts between 2009 and 2011.
Iulian Dolan, 28, and Cezar Iulian Butu, 27, entered guilty pleas Monday in federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud, according to Ars Technica.
Dolan also pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and has agreed to spend seven years in prison. He admitted helping the alleged ringleader of the hacking group, Adrian-Tiberiu Opera, to scan the target computers, crack the passwords and install keystroke loggers that would grab data from cards as they were swiped and PIN data keyed in, according to the plea agreement.
