Multiple individuals, believed to be located in Russia and Ukraine, were charged in 2012 for operating a sophisticated cybercriminal enterprise using malicious software called 'Zeus' to steal banking credentials and execute unauthorized fund transfers from victims' accounts across the United States. The conspiracy involved installing malware on thousands of computers without authorization to capture sensitive financial information and coordinate large-scale bank fraud.
