Israeli hacker arrested in Canada for $2 million online fraud

An Israeli living in Canada has been recently arrested in Montreal along with three other men on suspicion of committing a $1.8 million fraud, the Canadian media reported on Friday. 

Alberta police suspect Ehud Tenenbaum and the three co-conspirators hacked into the database of a Calgary financial services company and changed the value of the debit cards to an amount higher than their face price. 

Investigators are now working to establish whether Tenenbaum, 29, of Montreal, is the same Ehud Tenenbaum who became known some ten years as "the Analyzer" after hacking into computers belonging to the Pentagon. 

The four suspects were arrested in Montreal and brought to Calgary on Tuesday. 

Tenenbaum has been charged with six counts of fraudulent use of credit card data and one count of fraud over $5,000. He is the only one of the four suspects who remains in custody.
