The Central European nation's Directorate for Fighting Electronic Crime said this week in a statement that the suspects infiltrated a number of computers to steal credit card data that resulted in losses of about US$800,000.
The accused hackers, ages 20 to 32, installed keylogger software onto the computers to steal card data at point-of-sales systems, said Romanian authorities, who worked with the FBI on the investigation.
The arrests came after police last Thursday raided a Bucharest home, where they discovered nine laptop computers, two desktops and five hard drives, in addition to CDs and memory sticks. Authorities also confiscated more than US$200,000.
