In a press conference at its Los Angeles headquarters, the FBI announced "Operation Phish Phry," the bust-up of an international identity theft ring. The operation led to 33 arrests across the U.S. and 47 in Egypt, cybercriminals connected with a sophisticated identity theft ring.
Wednesday's arrests were the culmination of a two-year probe involving the joint work of the FBI, the US Attorney General's office, the Secret Service, local police forces and other members of the Electronic Crimes Task Force in Los Angeles. FBI officials described Operation Phish Phry as "the largest cybercrime investigation to date in the United States."
