Eight ATM hackers in the United States are now in the custody of the police as they face charges for the biggest bank cyber hacking amounting to $45 million, ABC NEWS reports.

The eight men were said to be member of a large cyber syndicate dubbed as The New York Cell.

According to records, the syndicate has already withdrawn $3million from the $45 million that they have obtained illegally.

In just a matter of 25 minutes, The New York Cell is capable of approximately 750 fake transactions amounting to $400,000 done from different ATMS in all parts of the globe.

The U.S. government is already in custody of luxury goods, two Rolex watches, Mercedes SUV, Porsche Panamera and hundreds of dollars. Members of the New York Cell was said to have invested their stolen money with these items.

Seven members of The New York Cell was arrested. Its one member was reportedly murdered last month in the Dominican Republic.

All suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit access device fraud, money laundering conspiracy and money laundering.

Special Agent for the Secret Service Office in New York, Steven Hughes, said that "New technologies and the rapid growth of the Internet have eliminated the traditional borders of financial crimes."

The hackers used a scheme so elaborate that it was as if it could only happen in movies, said Federal prosecutors.

U.S. attorney Loretta Lynch for the Eastern District Ney York said that the "... scheme was organized for months and planned down to the minute, reminiscent of the casino heist in Ocean's Eleven."

According to investigations presented in the court, hackers do their operation from countries all over the world. The scheme starts by eliminating the accounts' withdrawal limit. And then hackers acquire bank data, encode these data onto plastic cards and sent these plastic cards to other hackers located in approximately 27 countries.

Respective hackers who received the plastic cards will then withdraw from different ATMS. Each withdrawal was said to amount to millions.

Global Heist

Different law enforcements from Japan, Canada, Germany, Romania and 12 countries more were cooperating in the investigation.

The evidences presented to court include a record of an ATM hacking as far as the United Arab Emirates. The hackers compromised a credit card processor used for prepaid debit card transactions for Rakbank.

Another records show the hackers undergoing its attack at the Bank of Muscat in Oman. The hackers targeted a processor used by Master Card prepaid debit cards.

There had been 4,500 ATM dealings recorded all around 20 different countries in the world. Atty. Lynch said that "Instead of guns and masks, this cyber crime organization used laptops and malware."

The court is in custody of several surveillance photos of the accused. Atty. Lynch shares that "Surveillance photos show his (a hacker) backpack getting heavier and heavier as his efforts go on."

According to court, the accused when convicted might face maximum sentence of 10 years for the money laundering charges and 7 years for the crime of conspiracy to commit access device fraud.
