===Initial activity===
Seleznyov started his activities in earlier 2003, on Carderplanet, providing SSN and criminal history research service for fee, using stolen LexisNexis's accurint.com accounts, among others. Later on, Seleznyov's employee created a scanner which allowed the user to scan the internet for [[Remote Desktop Protocol|MSRDP]] open ports (3389 by default). at the time, default configuration provided poor protected and many administrator accounts remained without a password. Exploiting this vulnerability, Seleznyov and his partner gained an access to many remote computers, including ones containing financial and credit card data. At this point, Seleznyov contacted [[Horohorin Vladislav|BadB]] in order to gain his experience exploiting financial systems. In turn, [[Horohorin Vladislav|BadB]], another notorious cyber criminal identified by [[United States Secret Service Uniformed Division|USSS]] as [[Horohorin Vladislav]] in 2009, provided Seleznyov with automated script which looked for traces of credit cards in systems and networks, and thus Seleznyov obtained his first credit card dumps which, in turn, he resold to [[Horohorin Vladislav|BadB]]. As the time went on, Seleznyov became unsatisfied with BadB services and decided to start his own credit card dumps vending operation under nickname nCuX (from {{lang-ru|псих}} - psycho).

In 2008, Seleznyov extended his operations from just scanning [[Remote Desktop Protocol|MSRDP]] with default passwords or no passwords at all to developing sophisticated malware which had the ability to intercept network traffic and search network shares, distributing it through various flaws in internet browsers by injecting malicious code into advertising traffic and thus he infected many computers, mostly in the United States.

Roman Valerevich Seleznyov (Template:Lang-ru; born 1984), also known by his hacker handle, Track2, is a Russian computer hacker. He was indicted in Washington in 2011, and has been convicted of hacking into servers to steal credit card data. Seleznev's activities have been speculated to have caused damages to banks and credit-card companies ranging in the millions of dollars. Seleznev was arrested on July 5, 2014, and was sentenced to 27 years in prison for counts of wire fraud, intentional damage to a protected computer, and identity theft.[1]

Biography

Seleznev is the son of Valery Seleznev, a member of the Duma, Russia’s parliament.[2]

Initial activity

Seleznev started his activities in earlier 2003, on Carderplanet, providing SSN and criminal history research service for fee, using stolen LexisNexis's accurint.com accounts, among others. Later on, Seleznev's employee created a scanner which allowed the user to scan the internet for MSRDP open ports (3389 by default). at the time, default configuration provided poor protected and many administrator accounts remained without a password. Exploiting this vulnerability, Seleznev and his partner gained an access to many remote computers, including ones containing financial and credit card data. At this point, Seleznev contacted BadB in order to gain his experience exploiting financial systems. In turn, BadB, another notorious cyber criminal identified by USSS as Horohorin Vladislav in 2009, provided Seleznev with automated script which looked for traces of credit cards in systems and networks, and thus Seleznev obtained his first credit card dumps which, in turn, he resold to BadB. As the time went on, Seleznev became unsatisfied with BadB services and decided to start his own credit card dumps vending operation under nickname nCuX ("psycho" in Russian).

In 2008, Seleznev extended his operations from just scanning MSRDP with default passwords or no passwords at all to developing sophisticated malware which had the ability to intercept network traffic and search network shares, distributing it through various flaws in internet browsers by injecting malicious code into advertising traffic and thus he infected many computers, mostly in the United States.

In 2009, BadB started the first automated stolen credit card shop. Soon after that, Seleznev announced that he is out of business under nickname nCuX, but immediately created 2 other names track2 and bulba.cc,[3] which he used to operate automated stolen credit card vending shops. Besides, Seleznev bought whole advertising space for dumps section on then-prominent illegal carding forum, carder.su[4] In 2012, this forum was shut down during an operation mounted by DHS.[5] As BadB advertising campaign was also shut down on carder.su at the time, BadB was outraged and massive DDoS war ensued. However, in August 2010, BadB was arrested by USSS and Seleznev was left without competition for a while.

Terrorist attack

Main article: 2011 Marrakesh bombing

In 2011, while on vacation in Morocco, Seleznev was among the victims of a terrorist attack[6] where he received a severe head injury and was evacuated to Moscow for surgery.

Arrest and trial

Seleznev's 2014 arrest caused controversy as he was arrested outside of the United States, in Maldives,[7] and transported to Guam to stand trial. Citing "law enforcement reasons" the Justice Department would not disclose the location of Seleznev's arrest. Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security, said in a statement that the arrest showed that "despite the increasingly borderless nature of transitional organized crime, the long arm of justice – and the Department of Homeland Security – will continue to disrupt and dismantle sophisticated criminal organizations".[8][9]

Russian officials complained that Seleznev's arrest amounted to "kidnapping" and said the US had failed to notify Russian consulates of Seleznev's arrest. The Russian Foreign Ministry indicated that the Maldives had been the site of Seleznev's arrest, and criticized the Maldives for failing to follow "international legal norms" in Seleznev's arrest.[10]

After an eight-day trial in 2016,[11] a federal court jury found Seleznev guilty of the 38 counts,[12][13] and the following year was sentenced to 27-years imprisonment.[1][14]

On May 19, 2017, Seleznev faced charges in Atlanta after being convicted in federal court.[15][16]
