Hacker targeted U.S. government workers in scam that stole $1M, feds say

A Nigerian man who lived in the Newark area helped run a computer hacking and identity theft scheme that ordered about $1 million in office products after stealing personal information from U.S. government workers, federal officials said.

Olumide J. Ogunremi, who also went by “Tony Williams,” faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted of a single count of wire fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey said in a statement.

Ogunremi and his cohorts tricked employees of the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Department of Commerce into divulging their their names and s by creating fake websites and sending phony emails that mimic legitimate government sites and email addresses, authorities said.

They then used the stolen credentials to place fraudulent orders for office products - mainly printer toner cartridges - from vendors authorized to do business with government agencies. Ogunremi and his partners had their orders delivered to associates in New Jersey where the goods would be repackaged and shipped to Nigeria to be re-sold on the black market.

The scam operated for about six months in 2013.

Ogunremi, who fled to Canada, was extradited to the United States on Sept. 26 and charged two days later. He is being held in New Jersey without bail.

One of Ogunremi’s co-conspirator’s, Abiodun Adejohn, previously pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud conspiracy, and was sentenced to three years in prison in May 2015.

This guy na brain box America will keep him somewhere until we don't hear about him again and they will eventually explore his talents.

He should be extradited to Nigeria..

Will they, the US allow their citizen to rot in a Nigerian jail even if the crime was committed in Nigeria..

Even if they agree to extradite him now they will still inject him with chemicals that will traumatise him with mental imbalance for the rest of his life ..

Wicked people

Very unfortunate. 

The earlier we Nigerians EARN our money the better. All these short cuts to wealth is actually against the natural law as the goddess of divine retribution must just be patiently lurking in one corner to take on you.

Anyway, I pray he gets justice.

Nawa o

You scam people in the US and still ship proceeds of your scam to people with addresses in the US?

I’m sure he used gmail

I’m sure he used the computer he was using for this to check his private emails and Facebook and Twitter on the same browser window where he does his other black stuff

I’m sure he was using his home wifi with a US vpn or even without a vpn sef

There were probably too many breadcrumbs. There are Albanian credit card fraudsters in the US, plenty, but you hardly hear about one getting caught.

Blacks naturally tend to be unwise.

Say no to crime and DXN Nigeria

his talent is not at par with those that caught him. America does not need him.

NIGERIAN Internet fraudsters are babies and rookies when it comes to these things.

What is this one saying?

Is he more talented than Trevor Graves, who hacked the FBI and NSA and is now doing fifteen years in US prison?

Or , Xzavyer Narvaeza, valedictorian who is now doing 10 years?

He is not even a proper hacker. Just a script kiddie utilizing simple phishing techniques.

I wonder where you guys heard that America employs run-of-the-mill criminals on of "talents'.

Dude has no talent. anybody who can do a google search can do this.
