US charges 31 more suspects linked to ATM malware attacks

A Nebraska grand jury returned an indictment charging 31 additional defendants tied to a multi-million-dollar ATM jackpotting campaign that deployed Ploutus malware; prosecutors allege Tren de Aragua members physically accessed ATMs (removing/replacing hard drives or using thumb drives) to install malware that forced cash dispensation and erased evidence, with stolen funds laundered among participants. The Justice Department has charged 87 TdA members across multiple indictments, and authorities emphasized the group's criminal and foreign terrorist organization designation.
